Guguanyinchan Temple Review

In Xi'an, where the historical charm is strong, there are many famous ancient temples under the Zhongnan Mountain. Although Guanyin Temple has been washed and refined by the years, it is originally an unknown place among many monuments. Its uniqueness is that the ancient tree in between is the ginkgo tree that has been more than 1400 years. This golden ancient tree, not decayed because of the passage of years, but gave off a more quiet vitality, once in social media hot circle. Because the temple of force majeure has been closed, the twilight ginkgo leaves are not golden enough, but fortunately it is not easy to see. This year's ginkgo ancient tree will be yellow and dazzling, and it will be more beautiful without the interruption of tourists.

The ancient Guanyin Temple is located in the suburbs of Xi'an, at the foot of Qinling Mountain. One of the thousand-year-old temples in Zhongnan Mountain. The temple is quiet and solemn and the scenery is pleasant. There is an ancient ginkgo in the backyard for more than 1400 years, planted by Li Shimin in Tang Taizong. The branches are lush and lush, and the white fruits are covered with branches. The bamboo shoots are beautiful.

Fortunately, I swiped the system to grab two tickets every day before I came to Xi'an [smiling] [Victory] A total of only 14 days to watch the ancient ginkgo trees, because the leaves are not yellow or have been settled too early and too late [spit tongue] In fact, if it is not a weekend, you can usually wait on the side ⌛️ The system will put some tickets at any time to let the scene Visitors can also wish [hands together] [rose] monastery and ginkgo are beautiful, and there is a Buddha's edge 🐱 who has been beside the Buddha statue [smiling face] but the security guard has been roaring to let everyone not block the way, to pull over the sound of some destruction of the picture [laughs and tears]

The ancient Guanyin Temple of Zhongnanshan was built in Tang Zhenguan years, about 1400 years old, is one of the thousand-year-old temples of Zhongnanshan. There is a ginkgo tree that has been more than 1400 years old. It is rumored that this ginkgo tree was planted by Tang Taizong Li Shimin himself and has been listed as the national list of ancient trees and famous trees. Guguanyin Temple is far from Xi'an city. It takes subway and bus multiple transfers to take public transportation, and it takes at least two hours to get off from the city center. The ancient temple does not charge tickets, the incense is strong, you can pick up a handful of incense, the incense money is free, and you can do as much. Since this net red ginkgo tree is half yellow and half green, it is entering the best viewing period, so tourists are more than a day, just these days, the ancient Guanyin Temple will open an appointment channel on the WeChat public account, and the ancient ginkgo tree must first be in the WeChat public account "Zen Yin" Online appointment, you can enter the temple with the reservation record. Volunteers of the temple have been on duty, and the access passage has been marked and divided with red rope. To view the ancient ginkgo trees, you must follow the clockwise direction and circle the tree along the passage. When there are many tourists, they will be released in batches. It is recommended to leave early and enter the house early. Start at 10-11. There are more and more tourists, and there are fewer people before 10 o'clock. There are locals selling local products at the entrance of the temple, as well as small restaurants, and lunch can be solved nearby.

From Xi'an city, all the way to the south 20 minutes drive, to the Qinling foot of Xi'an Chang'an District East Street to run Luohandong Village, about 30 kilometers from Xi'an City ancient temple, hiding in the mountains people unknown, in fact, it has some stories. Xi'an ancient Guanyin Temple was built during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, and has a history of about 1400 years. In the monastery, there is a ginkgo tree of the same age as the ancient temple. It is said that Tang Taizong Li Shimin planted it by himself. The fame of the monastery and ginkgo tree is not too big. For more than 1400 years, they silently guarded the beings who came to the temple to pray for blessings. But in the autumn of 2016, a group of photos of the ancient ginkgo tree by the Beiqing Newspaper reporter became "net red". In the photo, the leaves of the ginkgo tree spilled on the ground after an autumn rain, which was quite spectacular and looked golden. A large number of citizens flocked to and admired the beauty of this ancient ginkgo tree. The most day, the number of people who came to see this "net red" tree reached 70,000. On weekends when there are many people, the team will be a few hundred meters away, and visitors have to wait three or four hours to see the ginkgo tree.

There is no comment on such a beautiful place, I said it. 1. It is quite far from Xi'an city. If you go, you have to estimate the time. I went to the subway from the northern suburbs for three and a half hours. 2. The temple is free, but from this year, you need to make an appointment from the WeChat public account. You need to scan the QR code for tree viewing to enter. (Note: Go as early as possible, although the reservation interface is half an hour for a period, but in fact, as long as it is any time of the day's appointment, you can enter, and you may not enter if you are late.) 3. There are a lot of people, the staff is very good, but it still feels like catching ducks - I also went to work during the middle of the week, and the tree-watching team was at least 300 people. Go psychologically prepared. 4. The most beautiful time should be that the leaves are yellow, the fallen leaves are covered with grass, but the branches will not appear bright (full screen golden). This time is about10-15 days after the appointment is started every year. This year is this week. Friends who want to go should hurry up. The leaves are not so good after falling. 5. There are also many monks practicing in the temple, try not to make loud noises and litter garbage. I don't know if so many tourists are lucky or evil in their view. 6.10-12 Month is the viewing period, other times are a quiet temple. The buildings themselves are quite elegant. After enjoying the trees, you may wish to walk around, and there are also good scenery. 7. Outside the temple is a small town. After the temple fire, many nearby villagers set up stalls outside the temple to sell some gadgets. There are also many specialty restaurants (the temple seems to provide self-service fast food, and it is not clear the specific situation). Self-driving friends can leisurely finish their meal and then leave. 8. On the tree viewing platform, I saw many tourists have been taking pictures from beginning to end. There are more mobile phones looking at the mobile phone screen than watching ginkgo. Finally, I want to suggest that everyone, no matter how many photos are taken, it is not as good as professional photographers. I searched the ancient Guanyin Temple ginkgo on the Internet, and many beautiful pictures came out. And its beauty, shocking, amazing, only you can feel it when you visit the scene. So, with ginkgo, one or two shadows, take a few pictures of the circle of friends, the rest of the time, feel the gifts brought by nature!
