This is Xiaoyu's travel diary, stop-and-go, and I look at Shaanxi.
It is said that "there is no idle grass in Qinling", and in the process of traveling in Qinling, I am more and more full of identification with this sentence. Deep in the southern foothills of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province, there is the oldest ginkgo tree in China, which is 4,000 years old.
Every year when the autumn wind rises, ginkgo biloba is at its most beautiful.
In the northern foothills of the Qinling Mountains around Xi'an, there are also many ancient ginkgo trees. The ancient Guanyin Zen Temple has more than 1,400 years of net red ginkgo biloba, the 1700-year-old ginkgo in the Qinling Tianziyu Baita Temple, the Wang Wei hand-planted ginkgo in Lantian Yuanchuan for more than 1,200 years, and the Laozi hand-planted ginkgo in Louguantai for more than 2,600 years...
These ancient trees are contaminated with magical creation, attracting many tourists to enjoy autumn and visit the ancient world every autumn, becoming a beautiful landscape. I have visited these ancient trees one by one, but I think they are old enough and tall, but I don't know that there is a 4,000-year-old ginkgo tree in Hanzhong Liuba County, the hinterland of the southern foothills of the Qinling Mountains.
This tree grows in Yuhuangmiao Town, Liuba County, Hanzhong, and is a national first-class protected plant, ranking third in the country in age. The first time I saw it, I just thought it was unusually tall. When I got closer, I couldn't see it in its entirety, so I had to retreat into the distance to fit it in its entirety into my camera lens.
According to the sign next to it, I know the specific "introduction" of it. The ancient tree is 26 meters high, the chest diameter is 4.4 meters, the shade area reaches 50 square meters, and it also has a name: "Descendants Full of Hall".
The name sounds festive, but in fact, it can only be found when you get closer: this is actually to describe the ancient tree as if it were an old mother who had suffered a lot. At first glance, we all think it is tall and fit, like a giant umbrella, making people feel the vitality of nature.
In fact, when I got closer, I found that the trunk of the ancient tree had been "hollowed out", and only the side roots and whisker roots were still alive at the roots, and the whole tree was completely supported by a piece of bark outside to support its life.
Strangely enough, although the main trunk has withered, around the skin of its roots, many small branches have grown, like children surrounding their elderly mothers. Therefore, there is the name of the image of "descendants full of halls".
This ancient ginkgo tree grows in the hinterland of the southern foothills of the Qinling Mountains, and was originally little known. With the bustling tourism of Qinling In the past two years, this Sacred Tree of Qinling has also been "discovered" by more and more tourists.
Unfortunately, the place where the ancient ginkgo biloba is located is located at the G85 Yinkun Expressway "Jiangxiying" Expressway, just at the northern end of Gaojiang Road, the most beautiful rural road in Qinling. Although it is convenient for self-driving tourists, after the highway is built, the viaduct passes by the tree, and the straight-line distance is only about ten meters.
When I was shooting ancient ginkgo biloba, the viaduct broke into the lens from time to time, and I could only find an angle to make it look "fairy". This may be the contradiction between how man and nature live in harmony. From another point of view, it can stand in the depths of the Qinling Mountains for 4,000 years, which is rare.
Time flies, and it is another year of vicissitudes and changes. This autumn wind rises, will you come to see it?
It is worth mentioning that this ancient ginkgo tree is just at the northern end of Gaojiang Road, the "most beautiful rural road in Qinling". Gaojiang Road connects Hanzhong Liuba County and Baojifeng County, if you take Gaojiang Road from the entrance of Liuba, after getting off the highway at the "Jiangxi Camp" expressway, you will first pass this ancient tree. If you come, remember to park and see it
