Suzhou is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,500 years and is full of monuments. Even the floor tiles on the ground have the feeling of hundreds of thousands of years.

Today, I saw two ancient trees, deeply touched, one is outside the courtyard wall of canglang pavilion, this tree body has been mothed into a big hole, still tenaciously alive, the branches are old, let alone two or three hundred years. From Canglang Pavilion to the west across Renmin Road is the Suzhou Confucian Temple, where the trees are even more amazing!

This ginkgo tree, known as Shou Apricot, 842 years ago, was planted in the Song Dynasty and is known as the "Ginkgo King" of Suzhou, a national first-class protected tree, and is the oldest ginkgo tree in the history of Suzhou. The trunk has been struck by lightning many times, and the trunk has been struck in half by lightning, which is unbearable to see, but fortunately, this tree still survives, and a new body grows out of the roots, which is passed down from generation to generation, and it is also called dead wood in spring, which is gratifying! There are several other trees that are also very old, more than 600 years old. People can't help but sigh "the vicissitudes of the sea and the mulberry field, the world is changeable"!

The most harmful tree in Suzhou is in Guangfu Town, which is said to have been more than 1900 years old, and it was also struck by lightning and did not die, and qianlong under the Jiangnan also gave the pen "Qingqi Strange". This tree is known as one of the four best in Suzhou!
