Ancient trees in Hongcun Scenic Area

The height of Populus davidiana on the north side is 19 meters, and its circumference is 6 meters. It takes four or five people to fold. The canopy is shaped like a giant umbrella, covering several acres of land in the village. The ginkgo tree on the south side is 20 meters high and looks like a sword, piercing the sky.

Because Ginkgo biloba is a rare tree species in the world, and it is 500 years old, everyone calls it the treasure of the village. These two big trees are the horns of this bull-shaped village, the geomantic tree of Hongcun, and also a symbol of good luck. According to the past custom here, people in the village hold happy events, and the bride's sedan chair should be surrounded by poplar trees in a big circle, which indicates that the new couple will get along well for a hundred years, and the long-lived old man should be surrounded by ginkgo trees in a big circle when he dies, which indicates that his children and grandchildren are full of happiness and longevity.
