Live: Explore 'Bird Paradise' in Guangdong Province, SE China

"Xiaoniao Tiantang" or "Bird Paradise," a natural bird sanctuary in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, is a popular spot for bird watching. Over 380 years ago, it was a mere mud mound in the river and a banyan tree. However, the area thrived over time, transforming into a natural wonder where the tree's branches and leaves cover more than 10,000 square meters, and tens of thousands of birds perch on it, giving rise to the popular local phrase "one tree, one paradise."

In 1933, renowned Chinese writer Ba Jin was amazed by what he saw during a boat tour in the area and wrote the prose "Bird Paradise," making the scenic spot famous. Today, as one of the host cities for the 15th National Games, Jiangmen has attracted many tourists to this remarkable site.
