A third trip to Chaozhou #china #wildchina #chaozhou #guangdong #accidentallywesanderson #park

It happens less and less the longer we are here, but every now and again, we stumble across a place that hints at something more than the lifeless face of this ‘city’. We’ll come back to explore further this wetlands/temple complex another day. #china #wild #temple #wetlands #wildchina (at Shantou, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btm1lciHWyi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j9liysc8xevb

The road up Emeishan #wildchina #waterfalls #emei #china #iphone8 (at Mount Emei) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo395eHh-ff/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mqthvldiwh4u

These pictures don’t do it justice because they were with my phone, the light was poor and the bus windows smeary, but even through the smudges the epic depths of the view up Emei mountain are visible. To be honest, I’d have been happy to take the bus up to the cable car, Have a cup of tea and then come back down on the bus again because the bus ride was by far the best bit of the day. What happened after that was a 40 minute climb to the cable cars, a 3 hour wait in the cable car queue while kids peed and poohed in the drains alongside it! Then another 40 minute climb up several hundred steps to see... a big gold Buddha. Maybe I’m spoiled, maybe I’ve just seen too many. It just wasn’t worth it. Then we waited another 1 hr 20 for the cables back down to the bus. I waited for the bus ride back as a reward for the somewhat thankless 7 hours on Emei. #iphone8 #emei #china #wildchina #mountain #valley #forest #treesofinstagram (at Mount Emei) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo39MUuBdgm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ltu09s9a0vkf

Two cute ili pikas from isolated mountains in China. More after credits... This is a #repost from @wild.for.nature via @PhotoAroundApp Weird Animal Wednesday!! This cute little bundle of fur is called an Ili Pika! Not much is known about this species, and they weren’t discovered until 1983 and not seen again until 2014! They live in northwestern China in the Tianshan Mountains surviving at high elevations between 9,000 and 13,000 feet. The Ili Pika is a small mammal, only about 8 inches in length and has fur ranging in coloration from brown, grey, white, and black. They are herbivorous and construct their homes from piles of grass and hay. Studies have shown that there may be up to 2000 individuals, but only 29 have been seen. They are currently listed as an endangered species although no protection plans are in place.
