In early summer, Menan Park in Pingli Town, Qimen County stands with ancient trees, full of emerald greenery, and the scenery is pleasant. A female blackbird rests on the eaves, and the other male blackbird tries his best to show his "talents" to the female, flapping his wings to perform a wonderful flight performance around the female, and immediately flies to the female's back to "step on the back" after gaining the favor of the female......
This is a scene recorded by photographers in Menan Park, which is the blackbird, a bird protected by the national "three haves" and listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Whiskered gulls, common buzzards, red-bellied eagles...... These rare birds frequently visit the "hometown of Chinese black tea" and "China's natural oxygen bar", which adds a beautiful and mysterious color to the "ecological kingdom" of Qimen.
In addition to the company of birds, here, there is also the Meinandu Ancient Caoyun Wharf silently telling the story of Qimen black tea...... The Changjiang River is the largest river in Qimen County, the Menandu Wharf nestled next to the Changjiang River was very prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, it is an important node for merchants to shop and supply accommodation, the Southern Song Dynasty has achieved unprecedented development of Hui merchants, the ships coming and going from the Meinandu Wharf have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the boats, bamboo rows, and wooden rows docked in the Menandu have as many as hundreds. Menandu Ancient Caoyun Wharf is an important node of the water trade road built by Huizhou merchants to expand their commercial territory. At that time, Qimen black tea was transported from this Menandu Wharf to Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province via Poyang Lake, and then transported to Hankou and exported overseas. Keemun Black Tea takes this as a starting point to embark on the "Wanli Tea Road" to the world.
