Nanshan Temple with its 600-year-old towering ginkgo trees

Located at Nanshanfang Archway, south of Xinchang Ancient Town, Go there early in the morning, there are few people, the environment is quiet, and admission is free It is a serious religious place You can take pictures here, but self-service tripods are not welcome I was stopped on the spot for using a tripod to take pictures😔 So friends who go to the ancient temple should pay attention The time of visit is not late autumn, the nearly 700-year-old ancient ginkgo tree is emerald green You can see it clearly through the wall (it has grown too high) It is also as green as the surrounding environment Nanshan Ancient Temple is not too Catering to the needs of tourists Not aiming to pursue the prosperity of incense The overall layout is very clean and new, with a well-organized layout Because I was stopped from taking photos, I was a little scared when I was walking around I was afraid that the master would rush out and yell at me again😔 (I didn’t dress in a way that was immoral) So I didn’t look at some details in detail The journey was very hurried If you don’t want tourists to use tripods In fact, you can post relevant slogans outside the door😅 It just so happens that it also wrote famous check-in spots, welcome to take photos #Temple #Religion #Buddhist Dojo #Old Tree
