[History/Details] According to historical data, there were two major natural disasters in Guangzhou that affected the Shamian concession. The first time was in early 1878, when Guangzhou was hit by a hurricane, the houses in the concession were also damaged, and the trees on the island were blown to pieces. The banyan tree introduced today was cut off by the hurricane, but it still stands. After the typhoon, the gardeners trimmed and fertilized the tree, and it was rejuvenated.
