Information about bird paradise

"Bird of Paradise", also known as "bird's paradise", is a scenic spot with unique bird ecological scenery as the theme, which integrates eco-tourism, cultural tourism, healthy tourism and leisure tourism.

The bird of paradise is located on the sandbar of Tianma River in Tianma Village, Xinhui District, Jiangmen City, 0/00 km away from Guangzhou/KLOC. In fact, it is a water banyan tree that grew in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The branches of water banyan trees hang down to the ground and plunge into the soil to become new trunks. As time goes by, the big banyan tree grows into a forest, and thousands of birds and trees live in the forest.

1933, after the writer Ba Jin visited here, he was deeply touched and wrote the famous prose "Bird's Paradise". Mr. Ba Jin personally wrote the word "Bird of Paradise", hence the name "Bird of Paradise".

Extended data:

According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a village called "Tianma Village", with an increasing population and insufficient water resources. One day, a Feng Shui gentleman from Jiangxi came to the village. He said to the villagers: The water flowing through Jinniutou from Yinzhou Lake is full of gold and silver, but this river is not suitable. Jiangdong, the building is empty. To ensure peace and live a good life, we must build a "pier" in the middle of the river to block water.

According to their instructions, the villagers dug and transported mud in the river and built a "mound". After the mound was completed, a villager inserted a banyan branch on the mound. A few years later, unconsciously, this banyan branch grew into a big banyan tree, which attracted thousands of birds to inhabit and multiply, and finally formed the world-famous "bird of paradise"-"bird of paradise".
