The Fulaishan Scenic Area (浮来山景区; Fúláishān Jǐngqū) is located on the western border of Ju County. It is noteworthy for an ancient ginkgo tree that grows in the center of the front yard of Dinglin Temple (定林寺; Dìnglín Sì) and is believed to be nearly 4000 years old. The tree is 26.7 meters high and 15.7 meters thick, covering an area of more than 600 square meters. In 1982, UNESCO conducted a special study on this tree and broadcast its close-up to the world.[4]
