Beauty holds ordinary trees: in the bamboo forest in the northeast corner of Xiangyan Temple, two trees are integrated. The main birch oak is tall and straight, and the trunk is towering like a general. Another tree has the reputation of "Little Beauty of the South" in the tropics. This tree is tightly wrapped around the big tree, and there are layers of small hair roots like human hair outside the bark, which are stuck in the bark to absorb the nutrition of the main tree "General", hug tightly and grow together. Therefore, people call these two trees "beauty hugs generals". Thousand-year-old couple tree: There are two ginkgo trees in Xiangyan Temple, which have a history of 1300 years. One is outside the mountain gate, and the other is in front of Wei Tuo Temple. The two trees are 40 meters apart. The roots of two trees are connected underground, and the branches and leaves are connected in the air, just like a pair of master trees that have been in love for thousands of years. Pruritus: This tree is a 300-year-old crape myrtle. Its branches are as sensitive as mimosa, and they shake when touched.
