Hangzhou West Lake | Hurry up, the top-notch ginkgo at the Great Buddha Temple has turned yellow!
When it comes to this time, the ginkgo of the Great Buddha Temple is top-notch!
The ancient stone Buddha relics of the Great Buddha Temple in Hangzhou are located on the hillside of the southern foot of the Gem Mountain. Looking from the back, it still looks like a big Buddha's head. The big Buddha faces south, only the head and two shoulders are visible, so the Buddha's head appears particularly large, so the locals in Hangzhou commonly refer to it as the "Big Buddha Head".
On weekdays, there are already endless people who come here for its reputation, and it is estimated that there will be a large crowd this weekend.
But it's really worth coming, it's so beautiful, and it's next to the stunning Beishan Road by the West Lake.
