Niaosong District FAQ

Why is Niaosong District called Niaosong?
The original name of Niaosong District was 'Niaosong Jiao Zhuang'. This name originates from a large, lush banyan tree that once stood locally.

Coupled with the frequent presence of black-collared starlings ('bai tou weng') nesting in the tree, the name 'Niaosong' was chosen, which sounds similar to the Mandarin pronunciation 'Jiao Qing'. This location is now near Fulong Temple on Wenqian Road in Niaosong Village, and it served as a resting spot for travelers and merchants, hence the name 'Niaosong Jiao'.
