|The ginkgo trees in this temple, shrouded in incense smoke, are particularly unique. Dabeisi Temple, located in the Fourth Place of Badachu Park in Beijing, is less famous for its ginkgo trees compared to the more well-known Tanzhe Temple and Hongluo Temple in Beijing. However, due to its small courtyard and thriving incense offerings, it creates a unique scene of smoke and golden ginkgo leaves. In the courtyard of Dabeisi Temple, there are two ginkgo trees, one male and one female, which have been verified to be over 800 years old. Their wide canopies almost cover the entire courtyard, creating a spectacular golden view. Sunlight often penetrates the blue smoke, forming spots of light. The golden leaves shimmer in the smoke, creating a mesmerizing effect. Best viewing time: Late October to early November each year (Due to strong winds in the past few days, many leaves have fallen. If you plan to visit this year, please check the current conditions before deciding.) TIPS: Photographing around noon yields better results as the strong sunlight can penetrate the smoke, creating the Tyndall effect and making the ginkgo leaves appear even more golden. Remember to shoot against the light. Fourth Place, Badachu Park, Shijingshan District, Beijing SONY A7RM2+SONY FE24-105/F4G OSS
