CHINESE MONAL GOLDEN PHEASANT HOW TO
Wolong is already the hotel base for the bird watching mecca of Balang Mountain – the bird photographers are here, but how to find a local landowner who was willing to take part in this project? We quickly concluded that establishing bird hides for the use of the ever-growing army of Chinese bird photographers would be an ideal answer. Our goal has been to establish a sustainable industry that equally benefits locals and wildlife and counters the wildlife negative advances of intensive agriculture. Gone are the days when it was just goats, yak and a vegetable garden to feed the family – now hillside terraces and pasture, home to a rich array of local wildlife, are being cleared in an intensification of agriculture – establishing plum orchards, giving an easy to manage cash crop and far better income

Times are changing fast at Wolong, with hill farmers taking full advantage of the new infrastructure and resultant tourist traffic that now floods the area. In the past, remote and difficult to reach, visitors were few, but today new road connections, now mean a quick and easy connection with the huge urban population of nearby Chengdu and the rest of Modern China. The inhabitants, who have a Tibetan heritage traditionally farmed the valleys and grazed the high grasslands with their yak and goats. Wolong is a Sichuan village located in the very heart of China’s largest Giant Panda Conservation area – the Wolong National Nature Reserve, home to the largest concentration of wild Giant Pandas in China. See our YouTube Video - Golden Pheasants January 2021 There is a chance to find the spectacular Tawny Fish Owl, but it requires a good amount of work and some luck.See Part 2 of the Golden Pheasant Project - Here With some patience, we can also find Crested Kingfisher, White-crowned Forktail, Little Forktail, and Blue Rock Thrush. While along the streams, we can easily encounter Brown Dipper, Plumbeous Water Redstart, White-capped Redstart. The Golden Pheasant will be our very top target at low elevation, with some planning, we should have a good chance of spotting some. We will focus on two main valleys at low elevation and one trail that winds up to the middle elevation area.
Our main activities here will be arranged in the mornings and late afternoons.
