Wow. That’s a really good list Phil – well done. Loved the picture of the Takin!
Awesome report, Phil!
When I was in Sichuan for a purely scenic tour with my family, I inquired about going to Baihe, but I didn’t get a response, as far as I remember. Who did you contact in order to see the monkeys there?
Cool pictures of the cat and the takin!!
Phil. I am glad you have been successfull.
Charles, Tomer, Dominique, Thank you and glad you liked the pictures. It was only a short trip but i think we got a few goodies.
phil.
Sorry Tomer, i didn’t answer your question – Sid goes to Baihe for birding trips and heard about the Monkeys from a ranger there, a Mr. Tang. He can arrange to take you there, Monkeys far from guaranteed though.
Gotcha! (Sorry for late response. lol)
Next time I’m in China I will include this place in the itinerary.
I’m secretly waiting for developments in Giant Panda tracking in China… If not in Foping then maybe in other places..?
But I will be back in Sichuan in the next 4-5 years for sure.. and I will try to contact this so-called Sid 🙂
