Ancient Ginkgo Forest Park
Jiangsu Taixing Provincial Ancient Ginkgo Forest Park is located in Xuanbao Town, known as the “No.1 Ginkgo Town under Heaven.” Covering an area of 9,800 acres, the park features scattered villages, dense ginkgo forests, and extensive orchards. Within the core area alone, there are over 13,800 planted ginkgo trees, including 9,800 fruit-bearing ones. The park boasts three ancient ginkgos that are a thousand years old, 1,600 ginkgos over 200 years old, and more than 3,800 ginkgos over 100 years old. The ginkgo resources here are extremely abundant, having formed a stable plant community. The massive, leafy canopies and short trunks of the ancient ginkgos create the unique silhouette characteristic of Taixing’s ginkgos. These grand trees are either clustered around villages or scattered along ditches and roadsides, making it the largest and most densely populated ancient ginkgo area in China. Experts have called it “a wonder found nowhere else in the world but China,” and praised it as “a miracle of nature and a paradise for leisure.”
