This "Yuan Dynasty Ancient Ginkgo," as Shanghai’s Ancient Tree No. 0067, is 650 years old and has stood alongside the main hall of Zhenru Temple, witnessing nearly seven centuries of history! In autumn, the golden leaves form a dense canopy, with sunlight filtering through the gaps, scattering golden fragments on the ground. 📍Zhenru Temple · Putuo, Shanghai 🚇 Subway: Line 14, Tongchuan Road 📸 Photo taken on: 12/5/25 ❤ Just Right Travel Tips: ✅ Zhenru Temple was originally built in the Southern Song Dynasty and relocated to its current site by the monk Miaoxin in the 7th year of the Yuan Dynasty’s Yanyou era (1320), and this ginkgo was planted at the temple’s founding. ✅ As one of Shanghai’s four famous temples, the Yuan Dynasty wooden main hall is the only Yuan Dynasty wooden structure in Shanghai. ✅ The Zhenru Lamb Restaurant in front of the temple is a century-old establishment dating back to the Qianlong era. ✅ Zhenru Huanyu City is not far from the temple.
