At the end of the longest ancient alluvial path in
Kish, surface waters run into the north of the island, to a
valley known as the
Portuguese Valley,
making it a particularly green area.
The Green Tree Complex is built around one of the island's oldest lure
trees. The greenery of the enclosure, the
buildings, wooden parapets and pavements bring to mind the northern
parts of the country. But, one of the factors
attracting tourists to this area is the legendary awe of the Green Tree.
This is the island's oldest lure tree, and has a life of probably
500-600 years.
Thread or material can be seen knotted on the tree branches, making it
appear holy at first sight. Some people believe this
is an auspicious tree, and so tie pieces of material to it to make their
wishes come true. "The Green Tree Complex", with its
beautiful alcoves and numerous barbecue areas has been renovated for the
visitors to rest and visit free of charge.
The pavements lit with lanterns among the evergreen spaces ornate with
colourful bourgainvillia flowers, all lure you toward the main
attraction of the complex. A prayer room, seasonal restaurant, buffet
and lavatories are also available in this complex.
The Green Tree Complex is adjacent to two important tourist attractions
in Kish
and has two entrances. One of them is a common door
with the "Harireh ancient city", and the other is next to the
"Traditional water reservoir". Both places are
within walking distance of the Green Tree Complex. |
