Guolin wetland

The fruit forest wetland area was originally the fruit forest area of Longtan fruit tree park, which is also a part of 10000 mu fruit forest. Haizhu District has a long history of planting fruit trees. As early as the Han Dynasty, there were records of rich lychee production. Now the location of ten thousand mu orchard is the alluvial sandbar on the Pearl River Delta, which is a typical alluvial river network of the Pearl River Delta. Hundreds of years ago, the river network was dense and the tidal flat silted up. The hardworking and intelligent Haizhu people found that there were many plants on the beach, so they began to reclaim the beach and plant fruit trees on the newly reclaimed fields. By digging the river channel, the mud is dug up to the beach to increase the fertility of the land, presenting the dense waterway, like a tortuous fruit forest scenery.
