    is a bird's nest?。 Bird's nests have a long history of consumption in China, but they do not originate in our country. It can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty and was passed into Our country from Saba, Malaysia. Today, Indonesia is the world's largest exporter of bird's nests, accounting for
    85% of global
    , followed by Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries. China only in Zhaoqing City, Guangdong, Huaiji County Yanyan, Yunnan Red River County Jianshui County Swallow Cave and Hainan Continental Island have a small distribution, production is very low.
