I've been living in Qingpu for a while now, and I'm always on the lookout for great outdoor spots. Shanghai has officially entered winter, and the ginkgo and red leaves are at their best. However, due to the rain and wind earlier, the ginkgo trees don't seem as lush as in previous years. Today, I visited Baoguo Temple, and seeing the monks with their enticing equipment, I decided to join in with my little black card and half-frame film. 🔍 "Baoguo Temple" has a parking lot outside, but on weekends and during the ginkgo season, there are more tourists, and parking spaces can be a bit tight, requiring some skill. 🍂 As soon as you enter, you'll see this thousand-year-old ginkgo tree. It seems to have been struck by lightning before, as the trunk is split, and a lightning rod has been installed. There are some new branches growing on the side, with lush golden leaves. 📸 Photo spots 1️⃣ Monk statue under the ginkgo tree Serene and sacred, with a stone tablet inscribed with "Ginkgo" nearby. You can take photos from any angle, and each side has its unique beauty as the sun's angle changes. Shooting through the incense burner offers a different perspective. 2️⃣ Four-faced Guanyin statue under the ginkgo tree With Guanyin Temple and ginkgo as the background, and the sunlight just right, it feels very sacred. 3️⃣ God of Wealth Hall Standing at a high point, with the God of Wealth Hall as the background, combined with ginkgo branches and an incense burner, creates an immediate sense of tranquility. 🚶 Nearby attractions Since you're here, why not explore the surroundings? Baoguo Temple is right by Dianshan Lake, and the sunset is particularly captivating, making you feel like you're looking at the sea. 1️⃣ Health Trail On the right side of Baoguo Temple, there's a "Jade Buddha Merit Park." Enter from the right side of the park. The trail is 600 meters long, with some maple leaves along the way, and you can see some birds and villagers' self-built houses. The trail ends at Dianshan Lake, offering a wide-open view, perfect for photos. 2️⃣ Dianshan Lake Village There's a small path between Baoguo Temple and the Merit Park, leading to Dianshan Lake Village. It's a fishing village where villagers sell their catch or dried fish. As you walk further, you'll see Dianshan Lake and many fishing boats, which is quite different from my impression of Shanghai🤣 ⚠️ Things to note 1️⃣ Due to the strong wind and waves here, remember to wear windproof clothing, and if possible, wrap yourself up like a zongzi. 2️⃣ There are also homestays nearby, converted from villagers' houses, which are charming and beautiful. Friends from out of town might consider staying here. 3️⃣ Baoguo Temple offers vegetarian noodles until 2 PM, and there's also a café outside.

Baoguo Temple Ancient Ginkgo Tree 📍Baoguo Temple (No. 452, Dianfeng Village, Xidianshan Lake, Zhujiajiao Town, Qingpu District) 🎫No.0004 📆December 8, 2024 Shanghai's No. 0004 ancient ginkgo tree, a tree I have wanted to visit for a long time but have been putting off year after year because it is too far away! I finally updated my map this year. A very beautiful ancient ginkgo tree, right next to Dianshan Lake. You can see the tall tree crown from afar when passing by the bridge. But the leaves are not completely yellow yet, especially the lower part, which is still a bit green. But with this year's weather, it's hard to say whether the leaves on the top will have fallen off by the time the lower part turns yellow. ☕️There is a nice coffee shop at the entrance, and the temple serves vegetarian noodles at noon. It is a good place to stop for a break during a special forces trip, or you can put it as the last stop and watch the sunset at Dianshan Lake on the way. 🚖The small road turning off from Huqinghu Highway is narrow and easily congested... If the map shows heavy traffic, you can consider walking, it's not far.

Baoguo Temple was originally a Guandi Temple built in the Ming dynasty, also known as Wusheng Temple, and commonly known as Guanwang Temple. It was built in the 13th year of the Chongzhen period of the Ming dynasty (1640). It was named "Guanwang Temple" because it was dedicated to Guan Yu. There is an ancient ginkgo tree in the temple, which is more than 1,050 years old. It is the oldest and largest thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in Shanghai. Since 1985, Guanwang Temple has been renovated, and the ancient architectural style of the Ming dynasty has been restored. It has become a place for Buddhists to hold Buddhist activities, and the incense has become more and more prosperous. In 1989, Master Zhenchan, then president of the Shanghai Buddhist Association and abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai, repaired and expanded Guanwang Temple, and changed it to a branch of the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai. The name "Baoguo Temple" was given to the temple, meaning that Buddhists should work together to serve the motherland. Zhao Puchu, president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, wrote the name of the temple. 📍Address: No. 452, Dianfeng Village, Xidian Lake, Zhujiajiao Town, Qingpu District, Shanghai, east of Dianfeng Bridge, Huqingping Highway (National Highway 318). ❤Recommended reasons: Ginkgo, Dianshan Lake

Surrounded by water on three sides, the serene and tranquil Baoguo Temple welcomes a steady stream of citizens and tourists with the most brilliant colors of a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree. This ancient ginkgo tree stands in the center of the temple courtyard, like a wise sage who has witnessed the vicissitudes of history. There are some differences from ordinary temples. For example, ordinary temples usually have a mountain gate, and after entering the mountain gate, the main hall you see is often the Mahavira Hall, followed by the Guanyin Hall and some other halls. However, the main entrance of Baoguo Temple is the 'Heavenly King Hall.' Although the plaque of Baoguo Temple hangs above the hall door, it is not conspicuous at all. By the way, the Guanwang Temple is still preserved, but it is just a very small hall. The main entrance faces Lanlu Port, and you can enter through the small door on the west side of Baoguo Temple. It seems that the incense is still quite prosperous.

The hottest days in Shanghai have passed. To celebrate a friend's new car, we happily decided to drive to the ancient towns around Qingpu. Jinze Ancient Town is a place that hasn't been commercially developed much. Its feature is the preservation of various ancient bridges, some of which can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty. There are few tourists here, mostly small farm-style restaurants and teahouses, with a few trendy coffee shops. Recommendations: 1️⃣ Beans Coffee A dessert shop specializing in soy milk. We ordered Longjing soy milk, almond tofu, and grapefruit tofu mousse, all of which were delicious! Not too sweet, with a very pure soy milk flavor! 2️⃣ Zhuangyuan Lou Farm-style dishes, the stuffed snails were quite tasty, and the shrimp we ordered were very fresh. It is said that the signature dish is braised river eel, but we didn't order it because there were only a few of us. 3️⃣ Dexian Lai The owner converted his own house into a small shop, with two tables indoors and Pujie Bridge just outside. The owner is quite interesting, leisurely fishing at the door. Coming here for tea is really casual and self-service, perfect for dazing off and chatting. In the evening, we went to Baoguo Temple. Under the afterglow of the sunset, watching the fishermen leisurely casting their rods, it truly is the life one longs for, haha~

There are many people fishing around the temple, and it is also a gathering place for fishing enthusiasts. From the outside, the thousand-year-old trees towering into the sky blend seamlessly with the majestic temple buildings.
