Dajue Temple (Temple of Enlightenment)Ⅱ

The great sites of Dajue Temple also include a clear pool, and some ancient trees. The pool is an ideal place for enjoying the glorious full moon. About 160 ancient trees are planted here, including an over-900-year ginkgo tree, and a 300-year old magnolia. With a height of 25 meters (82 feet), the big ginkgo tree is named as 'the King of ginkgo trees'. The attractive magnolia begins to bloom in April and lasts for about one week. During those days, the temple is perfumed with the fragrance of the flower. With her sweet smell, pretty petals and graceful manner, she wins a good reputation for the temple. The ceaseless spring water is clear, sweet and ice-cold. Even in midsummer, the water chills one to the bone.
