Ancient temple in the forest, quiet and silent, sitting alone to seek enlightenment.
This is a thousand-year-old courtyard hidden in the mountains, "Foyin Temple", which was built in the Jin Dynasty.
Although the whole temple is not big, when you step into the temple, it seems to travel through thousands of years ago. Every brick and tile is a story.
Especially the two 600-year-old ginkgo trees, one male and one female, in front of the temple. It is said that Emperor Jianwen once cried while holding the tree, leaving finger marks on the tree. Make the whole temple more legendary.

When I passed the temple when I picked chestnuts in autumn, I asked the master inside and said that it would be almost yellow in mid-December. It was true. We went at the end of November. The one on the right was basically all yellow, and the big one on the left was not very yellow. It should be all yellow in a week.
