Introduction to ancient tree communities: Walking along the pedestrian trail of Shengshui Creek, the ancient elm communities on both sides are a sight to behold. According to expert research, many ancient elm trees in the Zhaomiao Scenic Area are over 300 years old. Because of these ancient trees, every summer, the cool breeze in the scenic area wakes us up from the nostalgia and intoxication in our hearts at the right time. Walking in the Zhaomiao Scenic Area, with dense trees and chirping swallows, you are in a fairyland of natural flowers and birds chirping. No wonder Ouyang Xiu also sighed: "The drunkard's intention is not in wine, but in the mountains and rivers." This ancient elm tree is in front of him. The roots are clinging to the stone wall and the flying branches are strong. The years of vicissitudes of life have carved out the unique rich charm of cang elm. The leaves are as lush as an umbrella canopy, providing visitors with a cool place to enjoy. Seeing its roots winding along the stone wall and climbing up the cliff, there is a sense of pride of life. It is said that this ancient locust tree is also called the Dharma-protecting sacred tree because it grows in front of the Zhao Temple.
