Recommended Ginkgo Spots in Chengdu | Longxing Temple

Ancient temples and ginkgo trees are a perfect match. Today, I recommend a ginkgo spot at an ancient temple, Longxing Temple in Pengzhou. 🍂 Longxing Temple is beautiful in autumn. In addition to the ancient buildings, there are several tall ginkgo trees in the temple, some of which are hundreds of years old. The golden leaves complement the temple. There are also many bougainvillea flowers in full bloom. The environment is very beautiful and worth recommending. 🏯 The temple has the tallest pagoda in Asia, which is composed of a main pagoda and four auxiliary pagodas. The main pagoda is 81 meters high, and the auxiliary pagodas are 27 meters high. The style is modeled after the Kolkata Pagoda in India. It is one of the 19 existing pagodas in China and one of the oldest pagodas in China. The pagoda collapsed after years of disrepair, and the current pagoda was rebuilt in the early 1990s. You can climb the pagoda and overlook the entire Pengzhou scenery. 🍵 There is an open-air tea garden in the temple where you can drink tea, and a cafe where you can drink coffee. Find a sunny day to drink tea and bask in the sun here. 📷 It is also suitable for taking ancient-style portraits and ginkgo portraits. This season is perfect for taking photos of ginkgo trees. 🔥 In addition, this is also the filming location of the recently popular drama "Rival". When I watched the drama, I felt that the scene where Liao Fan and his brother worshiped Buddha was very familiar, which was the Longxing Relic Pagoda. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. 📍 Address: No. 1, Longxing North Street, Pengzhou, Chengdu, Sichuan Province 🚗 Self-driving: Navigate to Longxing Temple, about 1 hour from Chengdu 🅿️ Parking: There is a parking lot in the temple, CNY 3, cash only 💰 Ticket: Free, CNY 20 to climb the pagoda. 📌 Tips: 🔸 Longxing Temple is located in the urban area of Pengzhou.
