#DeepBreath Recently, the Baguang Ancient Silver Leaf Tree Community in Dapeng New District, Shenzhen, was selected as one of the "100 Most Beautiful Ancient Tree Communities" in China. It is the only mangrove ancient tree community that made it to the national list. This is also the first time that the tree community has received national recognition, following its previous title as one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Ancient Tree Communities in Guangdong" in 2022. The community has the most well-preserved and oldest natural population of silver leaf trees found in the world. It has witnessed the changes of the ancient village and serves as an important carrier of the unique Hakka culture in the area.
