Baihualing: sit in the bird hides on Gaoligong's slopes, October–May
Baihualing village, Mangkuan, Longyang District
At the eastern foot of the Gaoligong Mountains, Baihualing's former bird hunters turned to conservation and guiding; the first hide opened in 2010, and dozens now sit beside small pools where birds come to drink. The range has close to 800 recorded bird species, and photographers wait here for sought-after birds such as the fire-tailed myzornis. Come between October and May, sit roughly 7–11 am or 5–8 pm, and sleep in one of the village's 50-plus guesthouses.
What locals sayBird photographers call it a five-star site for close-up shots at the pools.
