Perfect, the Hanging Temple meets the 700-year-old Ginkgo King

In the early winter, the ancient ginkgo tree in front of the Daciyan Hanging Temple in Jiande City, Zhejiang Province, puts on a 'golden armor', forming a beautiful picture. The Daciyan Hanging Temple is famous all over the world for its rare landscape of 'the mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain', and it is included in 'The Best of China'. Half of its main temple, the Dizang King Hall, is embedded in the rock, and the other half is hanging in the air, which is quite spectacular, so it is called 'the Hanging Temple of Jiangnan'. The ancient ginkgo tree next to the temple is 39.5 meters high, with a diameter at breast height of 1.3 meters, and it is over 700 years old. It has been selected as one of the 'Top Ten Most Beautiful Ancient Trees in Hangzhou'.
