Birdwatching in China with Grandma

It was also only about nine years ago that bird-watching was first introduced into China.

Birdwatching also helps protect the environment by increasing people's awareness. Bird-watching societies have collected much data on endangered bird species, which is helpful for government departments involved in environmental protection.

No trip to China would be complete without visiting Wanglang Nature Reserve, established in 1963 by the Sichuan Forestry Bureau, is located in the Minshan Mountains in some of China's most important panda habitat. Wanglang, whose purpose is to protect the giant panda and its habitat, and the 10 other nearby reserves in remote areas of northern Sichuan are critical to the continued survival of the giant panda.
Birds in Wanglang: Many birds inhabit or migrate through Wanglang. A bird list containing common and rare species is available at the Wanglang Forest Lodge.
