SW Yunnan (滇西南) Jan/Feb 2013
Just returned from a 2-week birding trip there. We started from Kunming(昆明)where we took a domestic flight to Mangshi(芒市). The birding spots we visited including Wanding(畹町), Moli rainforest(莫里雨林), Nanjingli(南京里), Ruili Botanical Garden(瑞麗植園物),Yingjiang(盈江), Husa(戶撒), Tengcong(騰沖) & finally Baihualing(百花嶺)at Mt. Gaoligong(高黎貢山). Because of unrest in Burma's north-eastern area bordering with China, we were unable to visit the famous birding sites in Laban(那邦)! On return I took a domestic flight from Baoshan to Kunming & then another flight from Kunming to Shenzhen.
