Posted by Bella Zhang on August 29th, 2017

Is your life stuck between just work and home? Are you tired of your monotonous life? If yes, then it’s time to break free from this boring routine and do something interesting. How about choosing a new hobby? You can surely choose any hobby of your choice, be it reading books, cooking, painting or gardening; but, if you ask me to suggest something, I would say go for bird watching. I know, it might sound too boring. But, I would say don’t judge the activity without trying. Some of my friends too smirked when they heard that I love birding. But later, when I asked them to join in an expedition, they thanked me. And now, they always travel with me for birding in all the best birding spots in China. So, I would say give it a try!

Wondering which are the best spots for birding in China? I would definitely suggest you Sichuan and Qinghai province. These places are heavenly and they harbour loads of endemic birds. However, never visit these places solo. Always book a Sichuan or Qinghai Birding Tour package and then go.

Thinking why? Then here are some reasons; please take a look.

They’ll Provide Guides

The biggest advantage of choosing Qinghai or Sichuan Birding Tours than travelling solo is that the travel agency will provide you with a guide. Generally, every well-known travel agency that arranges bird-watching tours will send a guide who is either a native or a professional who has an idea about birds and that particular area/province. Hence, you’ll feel extremely safe when you are going for a birding spree.

Discover New Species and Learn a Lot

You may think that carrying a bird encyclopaedia is enough for you to identify various species of bird. But trust me, it’s not that easy. However, when you go for a bird watching trip along with guides and other birders, knowing about a variety of species, spotting endemic birds and learning a lot about these delicate species becomes very easy. So, don’t you think going with a bunch of professionals and avid birders is better than travelling solo?

You Won’t Get Lost

Even if you are a native to China, there are high chances that you might get lost in either of these provinces due to lack of knowledge about rights spots and routes. But, if you book a Sichuan or Qinghai birding tour, you will surely be able to stay safe and won’t get lost in the areas where you’ll find many endemic birds.

You’ll Get Loads of Tips about Birding

Since you are an immature birder, hence, it is obvious that you’ll not know about the titbits of bird-watching, like about the things to carry, what kind of clothes to wear, how to attract birds and etc. But, if you choose a bird-watching tour, you’ll surely get some really good tips from the guides and fellow birders. And you never know, those tips and suggestions can evoke a hidden birder within you, which you never identified before.

Now, when you know the perks of choosing a birding tour package over solo trips, what are you waiting for? Find a good agency, book a tour and have a great time bird-watching in greenery. I’m sure you will love the hobby and these two provinces.
