As a passionate bird photographer and traveler, I am thrilled to share with you an incredible itinerary that is sure to impress even the most seasoned bird watchers out there. Our Best of Sichuan Itinerary is the result of many years of experience taking tours in this beautiful province of China, and I can assure you that the birding, scenery, and food are simply outstanding.

Our goal with this itinerary is to seek out as many of Sichuan’s endemic or near-endemic breeding species as possible, along with a wide variety of other Asian breeding species. Some of the stunning birds we will be targeting include the majestic Black-necked Crane, the colorful Chinese Monal, and the regal Golden Pheasant. We will also be on the lookout for Verreaux’s Monal-partridge, Tibetan and Snow Partridges, Chinese Grouse, and Tibetan Snowcock, among many others.

But it’s not just about the birds – the scenery in Sichuan is truly breathtaking, from the towering mountains to the lush forests and crystal-clear lakes. And let’s not forget about the food – Sichuan cuisine is known throughout China and the world for its bold flavors and spicy kick, and we’ll have plenty of opportunities to indulge in the local specialties.

I cannot wait to embark on this adventure and capture some incredible photos of these beautiful birds in their natural habitat. From the Snowy-cheeked Laughingthrush to the White-browed and Crested Tit Warblers, there will be no shortage of stunning subjects to photograph. So come join me on this journey through one of China’s most beautiful and biodiverse regions, and let’s see what amazing birds we can discover together.

On the first day of our itinerary, we will be arriving in the bustling city of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan. Our home for the night will be the Chengdu Yinhe Dynasty Hotel.

On day two of our exciting itinerary, we’ll be starting the day bright and early with a visit to a nearby park that offers an excellent opportunity to spot some fascinating birds. Keep your eyes peeled for the striking Vinous-throated Parrotbill, the bold Black-throated Tit, and the beautiful Yellow-billed Grosbeak (also known as the Chinese Grosbeak). Other birds we may encounter include the Chinese Blackbird, White-browed Laughingthrush, Little Egret, and Little Grebe. And if we’re lucky, we may even catch a glimpse of the elusive Chinese Bamboo Partridge.

After our morning birding adventure, we’ll make our way to the Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve, where we’ll spend the night. This reserve is renowned for its stunning scenery and diverse wildlife, and we can’t wait to see what kinds of bird species we’ll discover during our stay.

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure as we explore this breathtaking region and keep our eyes and ears open for the many birds that call it home. With the promise of new and exciting species around every corner, day two of our itinerary is sure to be an unforgettable experience.

During day three of our itinerary, we will be exploring the stunning Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve, which is home to a diverse range of bird and mammal species. Our main targets for the day will be the stunning Golden Pheasant, the majestic Temminck’s Tragopan, the beautiful Slaty Bunting, and the rare Tawny Fish Owl.

Aside from these special species, we may also have the chance to spot a variety of other commoner birds, such as the impressive Mountain Hawk Eagle, the striking White-backed Woodpecker, the charming Collared Finchbill, the melodious Brown-breasted Bulbul, and the playful Elliot’s and White-throated Laughingthrush. We may also catch sight of the gorgeous Red-billed Blue Magpie, the colorful Yellow-bellied and Green-backed Tit, the stunning Crested Kingfisher, the lovely Fujian Niltava, and the striking Rufous-gorgeted Flycatcher. If we’re lucky, we might even encounter the elusive Claudia’s Leaf Warblers, Sulphur-breasted Warbler, or Alstrom’s Warbler.

As we explore the reserve, we’ll also keep an eye out for some of the many mammal species that call this area home, such as the impressive Takin, the endearing Reeve’s Muntjac, the graceful Tufted Deer, the mischievous Tibetan Macaque, the elusive Chinese Serow, the agile Chinese Goral, and the charming Yellow-throated Marten. And if we’re incredibly fortunate, we might even catch a glimpse of the rare Golden Snub-nosed Monkey or the magnificent Asiatic Black Bear.

With so much incredible wildlife to discover, day three of our itinerary is sure to be an unforgettable adventure. Get ready to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve and discover the many wonders that await!

On Day 4, we will leave Tangjiahe after the morning birding session and make our way to Chuanzhusi. It will be a long day of driving, lasting around 7-8 hours. However, we will stop to do some birding along the way, with a focus on finding the Collared Crow and Black-streaked Scimitar Babbler. We will also have a lunch and birding stop at Huangtuliang Pass, where we might have a chance to spot species such as Spotted and Chestnut-crowned Bush Warblers, Long-tailed Thrush, and Himalayan Beautiful Rosefinch. Our night stay will be in Songpan.

On Day 5, we will start with birding in Gongganglin forest in the early morning, before heading to Ruoergai for the night.

The Gongganglin region, located near Juizhaigou, is characterized by high-altitude coniferous forests and provides an excellent opportunity to spot the Sichuan Wood Owl at daybreak. Later, we will focus on searching for other target species that may be present in this area, such as the Blue-eared Pheasant, White-browed and Crested Tit Warblers, Chinese White-browed, Pink-rumped, and Three-banded Rosefinches, Siberian Rubythroat, White-cheeked Nuthatch, Maroon-backed Accentor, Hodgson’s Treecreeper, and White-throated and White-bellied Redstart. Although not frequently sighted, there is a slight chance of spotting the Severtzov’s (Chinese) Grouse, which is a challenging task.

During Days 6 to 7, we will focus on birding in the Ruoergai area, exploring places like Baxi forest and the Tibetan Plateau. We will be staying in Ruoergai for the night.

During our stay in Ruoergai, we will dedicate two days to birding, with one morning exploring Baxi forest and the other focusing on the Tibetan Plateau. Baxi forest is widely considered as the prime location in Sichuan for finding a variety of bird species, including Blue-eared Pheasant, Chinese Grouse, Three-banded Rosefinch, Przevalski’s (White-Cheeked) Nuthatch, Snowy-cheeked Laughingthrush, Chinese Fulvetta, Sichuan Tit, Slaty-backed Flycatcher, Giant Laughingthrush, and Black Woodpecker. Our main focus will be on these species, while also keeping an eye out for commoner birds such as Chestnut and Kessler’s Thrush, Chinese, Greenish, and Buff-barred Warbler, and Grey-headed Bulfinch. Although wolves have been spotted in the area, they are extremely rare.

On our second morning, we have two options to choose from. We can either head back to Baxi and try to spot any important species that we may have missed earlier, or we can travel for an hour from our hotel to target Przevalski’s Finch (Pink-tailed Bunting) and Tibetan (Black-winged) Snowfinch. In the afternoon, we will explore the high plains of the Tibetan Plateau in search of various species such as Black-necked Crane, Tibetan Lark, Rufous-necked and White-rumped Snowfinch, Horned Lark, and possibly Twite. While the Ruoergai area sometimes offers sightings of the Tibetan Grey Shrike, the Ground-tit is a relatively common bird that can even be found at the outskirts of town.

On Day 8 of our journey, we have a long travel day ahead of us. Our destination is Maerkang, but we have several key stops planned along the 320-kilometer route. Despite the long drive, there are plenty of great birding opportunities along the way, and we hope to see several bird species that we have not yet encountered.

Some of the bird species we will be on the lookout for include the Tibetan Partridge, Saker Falcon, Przevalski’s Finch (if we still need it), White-browed Tit Warbler, Sichuan Tit, White-browed Tit, Pere David’s (Plain) Laughingthrush, Azure-winged Magpie, Tibetan Snowfinch, and Little Owl.

We will make sure to stop at key sites to increase our chances of spotting these birds. It may take a little extra time, but the rewards of seeing these beautiful creatures in their natural habitats will make it all worthwhile.

After a full day of travel and birding, we will arrive in Maerkang for the night. Even though it’s a long travel day, we will make sure that every moment counts and make the most of our birding opportunities along the way.

On Day 9, we will start our day early by driving up to the scenic Mengbishan pine forests. This location is considered the best place in Sichuan to catch a glimpse of the elusive Sichuan Jay and Verreaux’s Monal-partridge (Chestnut-throated Monal Partridge). Along with these birds, there is also a good chance of spotting Blood Pheasant, Giant Laughingthrush, Long-tailed Thrush, Crested Tit-Warbler, Chinese Fulvetta, Crimson-browed Finch, and Collared Grosbeak. We may also see Himalayan Bluetail, Rufous-breasted Accentor, Streaked, Himalayan Beautiful, Pink-rumped and Chinese White-browed Rosefinches. While White Eared Pheasant, Three-banded Rosefinch and Black Woodpecker sightings are rare, they are also possible in this area. We will spend the night in Maerkang.

On Day 10, we will be traveling to Wolong with birding opportunities en route. While enjoying the magnificent scenery, we will make stops to search for several bird species such as henrici race Long-tailed Rosefinches, Wallcreeper, Yellow-streaked Warbler, Hill Pigeon, Hodgson’s Redstart, Asian House Martin, and both types of chough. If we arrive early enough at our destination, Wolong, we may also have the chance to look for the newly recognized Sichuan Forest Thrush and Firethroat.

On Day 11, we will start our day very early and have breakfast in an area known for Chinese Monal, White-eared Pheasant, and occasionally Koklass Pheasant. If the weather is good, we will head back up towards Balang Shan Pass, which is home to a number of high-altitude species such as Tibetan Snowcock, Snow Partridge, Red-fronted and Streaked Rosefinch, Brandt’s Mountain Finch, Alpine Accentor, Rosy Pipit, and with luck, Grandala. We will spend the afternoon birding down the mountain, stopping frequently to look for species such as Himalayan Griffon, Yellow-billed and Red-billed Chough, Firethroat, Giant and Barred Laughingthrushes, Alpine Thrush, Sichuan Forest Thrush, Slaty Bunting, recently split Chinese Rubythroat, Crested Tit Warbler, Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler, Collared and White-winged Grosbeak, Kessler’s and Chestnut Thrushes. The area is also known for its many species of Rosefinches, including Sharpe’s, Chinese Beautiful, Chinese White-browed, Dark-breasted, Vinaceous, and Pink-rumped Rosefinch. We will spend the night in Wolong.

On Day 12, we will go back to the mountains before dawn. However, our focus for the day will depend on the weather and the sightings we had on the previous day. We will spend the night in Wolong.

On Day 13, we will have an early start and spend the morning birdwatching between Wolong and Rilong. Later, we will head to Longcanggou where we will stay for the night. If time permits, we will look for some low altitude species like Gold-fronted Fulvetta, Grey-crowned Warbler, Alstrom’s Warbler, and Chinese Blue Flycatcher in Longcanggou during the afternoon.

On Day 14, we will have a full day dedicated to exploring Longcanggou, which is considered the best spot for parrotbills in Sichuan. We have a good chance of seeing a variety of parrotbills such as Three-toed, Golden, Great, Brown, and Ashy-throated, as well as possibly Grey-hooded. Additionally, we may be lucky enough to spot a Temminck’s Tragopan along with other notable species including Grey-hooded, Gold-fronted, and Golden-breasted Fulvetta, Streaked Barwing, Sichuan Treecreeper, Red-winged, Buffy, Spotted, and Elliot’s Laughingthrushes, Emei Shan Liocichla, Chinese Blue Flycatcher, Chinese Bamboo Partridge, Chinese Wren Babbler, Sichuan, Spotted and Brown Bush Warblers, and White-bellied Redstart. We may also have the opportunity to see Red Pandas during our time in Longcanggou.

On Day 15, we will do some birdwatching in the morning in Longcanggou to look for any species we might have missed earlier. After that, we will drive from Longcanggou to Luding, where we will spend the night.

On Day 16, we will be exploring Erlang Shan, which is close to Luding. Our focus for the day will be on a different set of birds, with Lady Amherst’s Pheasant and Moupinia (Rufous-tailed Babbler) being the main targets. In addition, we will be on the lookout for Chinese Song Thrush, Black-streaked Scimitar Babbler, Streaked Barwing, Gold-fronted Fulvetta, Yellow-bellied Tit, Chestnut-headed Tesia, Black-browed Bushtit, Golden Bush Robin, Brown, Grey-hooded, Fulvous, and Great Parrotbills, as well as any species that we may have missed earlier, such as Firethroat and Barred Laughingthrush. Sharpe’s Rosefinch is another species that we might encounter in this area. We will spend the night in Luding.

Today, on Day 17 of the birding tour, the focus is on exploring Erlang Shan for any missed species from previous visits. Erlang Shan is renowned for being the best location to see Lady Amherst’s Pheasant and Moupinia (Rufous-tailed Babbler), and the group will be targeting these two species along with other notable species such as Chinese Song Thrush, Black-streaked Scimitar Babbler, and Streaked Barwing.

The area also presents an opportunity to spot some uncommon birds such as Gold-fronted Fulvetta, Yellow-bellied Tit, Chestnut-headed Tesia, Black-browed Bushtit, Golden Bush Robin, Brown, Grey-hooded, Fulvous and Great Parrotbills. Additionally, species that were missed previously such as Firethroat and Barred Laughingthrush will also be sought after.

The birding enthusiasts will have a wonderful time exploring the beautiful landscapes of Erlang Shan and Labahe while searching for a diverse array of bird species. This is undoubtedly an exciting and unforgettable experience for anyone who loves birding and nature.

Labahe Provincial Nature Reserve is a birdwatcher’s paradise, and Day 18 of this birding tour is devoted entirely to exploring its rich avian diversity. The reserve is located in the heart of Sichuan province and covers an area of 32,100 hectares, encompassing a wide range of habitats including dense forests, alpine meadows, and river valleys.

As a local birder in China, I know firsthand that birding in Sichuan can be a challenging endeavor, especially after a few brief visits.

The logistics of the trip were expertly organized, and the variety of delicious dinners and snacks was a nice surprise.
