Ginkgo trees after winter rain in Tongzi Ao in 2023

A group of people have decided to go to Tongzi Ao, Yongzhou, Hunan, to appreciate the ancient trees in the ancient village on the first Sunday of December 2023. There is an ancient ginkgo community here, with more than 3,000 naturally growing ginkgo trees, the oldest of which is more than 1,600 years old. The tall branches of ancient cypresses and the fruit of ginkgo trees have been here for thousands of years. In the early morning, the weather was not very good. I took an umbrella and hiked to the meeting point. I still thought that it would not rain at the destination. After more than 3 hours of high-speed driving, we arrived directly at Tongzi'ao Scenic Area. The weather is sometimes cloudy and sunny, and the weather is cool. Local people said that a lot of ginkgo leaves fell due to rain and wind last night. After hearing this, I felt that it was a pity, but tourists were missing a lot. There were several buses and private cars, but the parking lot still seemed empty. The duck's feet are ripe and half off, and the ground is covered with yellow ginkgo leaves. Everyone's excitement is still there. Constantly taking photos of various styles. During lunch, it started to rain heavily. Take a break, the winter rain is like silk. Continuing a few steps forward, you will see the thousand-year-old couple tree and the century-old ginkgo tree in front of you. Some duck feet are half-cooked and still green in color, while others are suddenly successful. The posture is like a phoenix dancing in the clouds, and the energy is like a dragon nesting in a rock valley. The intertwined roots have passed through autumn several times, and I have been wandering around in vain every year. The air is so nice, take a deep breath. Just when we were about to leave, the breeze picked up, and the golden apricot leaves fell to the feet of the big tree with the wind. Several local families set up stoves, roasted sweet potatoes and sold dates. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ll come back next year.
