Ginkgo trees planted in Li Shimin are located in the ancient Guanyin Temple in Luohandong Village, Dongda Street Office, Chang 'an District, Xi 'an.
according to legend, after the dragon king was beheaded because Emperor Taizong failed to rescue him, he often gave his dreams to Emperor Taizong. Therefore, Emperor Taizong ordered the construction of guanyin temple and planted a ginkgo tree by himself. Ginkgo trees planted by Li Shimin are located in the ancient Guanyin Temple in Luohandong Village, Dongda Street, Chang 'an District, Xi 'an. Under the ancient trees, there is a clear spring, which is clear and sweet and inexhaustible for many years, and is known as the "Guanyin Shenquan". Pilgrims enter the Zen temple, sit under the tree after worshipping Buddha, and draw tea from the spring to participate in Zen Buddhism. In Zen tea blindly, there is no difference in self-nature.
The ancient Guanyin Temple, where the ginkgo tree is located, has a history of more than 1,4 years. It is quiet, ethereal, quiet and comfortable. The gable of the temple stretches in mottled light and shadow, and every tile, grass and tree tells a long story.
