Step into Xiaoniao Tiantang (Bird Paradise), a living fairytale in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, where a single ancient banyan tree has grown into a 10,000-sqm avian sanctuary over four centuries! 🚤✨
What began as a humble mud mound in 1645 is now home to tens of thousands of birds – from egrets to herons – earning its poetic name from writer Ba Jin’s 1933 essay. His vivid prose immortalized the site, calling it a place where 'the sky and trees dance with wings.' 📖🕊️
Fast-forward to 2025: As a host city for China’s 15th National Games, Jiangmen is buzzing with eco-tourists and sports fans alike. 🌏🏅 Local guides say the best time to visit is sunrise, when birds create a 'feathered symphony' – perfect for that viral Instagram reel! 📸🌅
Pro tip: Take a silent boat tour to avoid startling the birds. As one visitor tweeted last week: 'It’s like Avatar meets Planet Earth!' 💙🌿
