Golden Glow: Ancient Ginkgo Trees Illuminate Zhejiang Temple
The ancient ginkgo trees at Xuedou Temple in Fenghua District of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, are turning heads this early winter as their leaves transform into a sea of shimmering gold. These two millennium-old trees, affectionately known as the "husband and wife" ginkgo trees, are showcasing their most stunning hues, draping the temple grounds in a golden cloak.
Every November, as the leaves reach peak color, tourists and photography enthusiasts flock to the temple to witness and capture the breathtaking sight. The gentle fall of golden leaves creates a serene and almost magical atmosphere, perfect for photo opportunities and peaceful walks.
