The idea to build this city originated from Mr. Lê Hoàng Vũ, Deputy General Director of An Giang Tourism Joint Stock Company, during a European tour. Inspired by the serene beauty of pigeons in Europe, he decided to bring a similar experience to visitors in the Trà Sư Melaleuca Forest. Initially, there were only about 200 pigeons, but after nearly 5 years of care, the number of "pigeon residents" has significantly increased, creating the largest pigeon population in the country.
