A 1,400 year old Gingko biloba tree at the Gu Guanyin Buddhist Temple in the Zhongnan Mountains of China is seen shedding its golden leaves this past Autumn, bathing the temple garden in a sea of golden yellow.

The incredible sight has attracted visitors from the surrounding area to revel in the ancient tree’s beauty one final time before the looming winter.
