"All art and religion are but appendages of nature."
Art is not difficult to find, religion is easy to get together, and nature is difficult to capture. Whether it is a natural museum or an animal and botanical garden, it is only built from the human need to appreciate nature and the desire to explore, with a large number of human feelings in the world, and has nothing to do with the "nature of nature".
The golden turtle town, a century-old Hakka town that was once rich in money turtles, interprets the "return to nature, heaven and earth and people" between nature and human beings to the extreme.

The ancient town, which is born of mountains and streams, is located on the ancient commercial road from Dapeng to Pingshan and Huizhou in Shenzhen, following the undulating terrain from the foot of the mountain to Tianxin Mountain (the sixth highest mountain in Shenzhen) at an altitude of more than 689 meters. Villagers respect the mountains and water, the town can be seen everywhere in the original ecological style nourished by centuries-old trees, and there is no lack of lush feng shui forests behind the town, and the great wisdom of "symbiosis of all things" is in the eyes.
Here a grass and a tree are a scene of their own, and a flower and a bird are like heaven——
The Tree is beautifully shaped, but people here will not interfere with the equally beautiful orange-banded blue ruler moth, parasitizing and destroying the Pine.

Eucalyptus native to Australia, which is regarded as a large number of cash crops, has been criticized for having a greater negative impact on the ecological environment, fortunately, this criticism has been blocked out of the golden turtle town.

In order to let the flying swallows live in peace, the residents moved beautiful powder bamboo and turned the surrounding area of the home into a habitat for various creatures.

This harmonious environment that follows the symbiosis between humans and nature not only attracts the presence of the bonobo monkey, a national first-class protected animal, but also unconsciously gives birth to the largest and oldest wild hydroglyctor community in Shenzhen.

The average age of this group of wild water owls has exceeded 100 years, including the 200-year-old "Water Ong King" in the eyes of plant experts and scholars, who have been with the Golden Turtle Creek for hundreds of years, and in the reverence of local residents for nature, they have given birth to a vibrant original ecological paradise -
The big long-legged egret and the small short-legged kingfisher, one standing in the stream, the other standing on the branches, each staring at each other's small fish and shrimp, do not disturb each other. The longfin carp, which was stared at by death, had a heart thicker than its waist, and swam around without alertness.

The two brook-kissed gobys directly ignored the hunters' tiger eyes and were busy rubbing their fists for the territory, demonstrating against their companions.
Seeing this, the sickle-corset crab couldn't help but sigh and climbed away sideways, but did not pay attention to being curled up by the cat in the Hainan ditch on the side.

The tadpole hiding in the sand could not help but laugh out loud, scaring the tadpole that swam to its mouth and fleeing. Their spotted-legged tree frog father was so busy fighting with Wang Laowu next door that he was exhausted and dizzy, and he hugged the wrong black-eyed toad, and was punished by his daughter-in-law for singing.
In a panic, the spot-legged tree frog that hugs the wrong toad and the flower-like narrow-mouthed frog that barks like a drum
Although the song attracted the merciless ridicule of the flower narrow-mouthed frog, it opened the symphony of the night of the golden turtle town——
