Baishanzu fir introduction: Baishanzu is famous for its firs and South China tigers. Baishanzu fir is a relict plant from the Quaternary glacial period. It was fortunate to escape the catastrophe of the Quaternary glaciers and is known as the "Plant Panda". It was discovered in 1963 by Mr. Wu Mingxiang, a senior engineer from Qingyuan County and named in 1976. After the Baishanzu fir stamps were issued on March 10, 1992, more Chinese and foreign scholars and tourists came to visit and inspect.
This fir was widely distributed in Baishanzu territory before the Quaternary glaciers. Due to global climate warming after the Quaternary glaciers, the Baishanzu firs that were originally widely distributed here have only retreated to high altitudes and are now The three Baishanzu fir trees growing on the southern slope of Baishanzu are unique in the world and are listed as one of the twelve most endangered plants in the world by the International Commission for Species Conservation. Its discovery can prove that firs migrated from the north to the south at high latitudes during the Quaternary glacial climate, providing new evidence for studying climate change and the evolution of biota in the Earth's biosphere.
