The history of Yuquan Road:

There are two first-class ancient ginkgo trees nearby, and Premier Zhou personally instructed the 1 line subway to change the construction plan. Two ginkgo trees in Yuquan Road, Shijingshan District, because of this historical allusion, became the first ancient tree inscribed with a monument in Shijingshan District.

An old man told reporters that the tree in the east, which is a little thicker and needs about three people, is the mother tree, which bears many fruits every year. He said that roots extend around the ground. In order to protect the ancient trees and not damage the roots, the road next to the trees is four or five meters narrower than the two sides. "There is a white marble monument under the tree recently."

According to the inscription, these two ginkgo trees are the remains of Fu Ling Temple site in Yuan Dynasty, which has a history of 700 years and is a first-class ancient tree. 1965, in order to protect two ancient ginkgo trees, Premier Zhou Enlai personally instructed to change the subway construction plan and extend the subway distance from Yuquan Road to Babaoshan, which became a much-told story for national leaders to protect ancient trees.
