Zezhou Dai Temple | See a 6,000-year-old ginkgo tree.

| See a 6,000-year-old ginkgo tree. Zezhou Dai Temple, commonly known as Xidamiao, is located in Yedi Village, Nancun Town, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. It is the only Dai Temple and Taoist Quanzhen Temple outside of Mount Tai.
Next to Zezhou Dai Temple stands a ginkgo tree, one of the attractions here. According to experts, the tree is at least 6,000 years old, making it one of the top ten largest trees in Jincheng and unique in China. In front of the Dai Temple, the tree's crown spreads out like a giant umbrella. Originally, the tree had eight branches, but six were cut down in the early days of liberation to make desks and benches for the village school, leaving only two branches. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow, and from a distance, it looks like a money tree. Perhaps making a wish for wealth here will be effective.
