In China, there is a famous temple (寺庙) in Xi'an. Inside the temple, there is a very old ginkgo tree. It is over 1,400 years old. This tree is one of the oldest ginkgo trees in the world. In autumn, the leaves of the old ginkgo tree turn yellow and fall to the ground. It looks like a golden carpet (地毯). Many people visit the temple just to see this beautiful sight.
Ginkgo trees are very old plants on Earth. They have existed (存在) for millions of years so they are called "living fossils". These trees grow very slowly but can live for a very long time. They are strong and can survive (生存) in many different places.
Today ginkgo trees are planted in many cities. People like to plant them because they are beautiful and can make the air cleaner. They are also important symbols of history and nature. In China, people believe that ginkgo trees can bring good luck and long life.
