Sichuan Bird-Watching Tour
As a western province of China, Sichuan boasts a diverse range of natural landscapes, including nature reserves such as the Giant Panda Sanctuary, Siguniang National Park, Yading Reserve, Zoige Reserve, and Ya’an Reserve. The sharp contrast in altitude between the Sichuan Basin and Tibetan Plateau offers a perfect habitat for a variety of wild animals, including birds. The basin, with an altitude of merely 400 meters, stands in sharp contrast to the towering mountains which soar above 6,000 meters. Additionally, the relatively low latitude provides four distinct seasons in most parts of the province, with a humid and warm summer and a dry and warm winter. These conditions create an ideal environment for birds to flourish. Below, I’ve included information on popular birding destinations and trips in Sichuan.
