Title: Suggestions for Multi-Day Nature and Wildlife Experiences in China

Planning a four-week trip across China—from Shanghai and Chongqing to Chengdu, Xi’an, and Beijing—I’m hoping to carve out 4–5 days dedicated to nature, wildlife, and birdlife, preferably in Sichuan. I’m seeking a trip focused on wildlife watching and natural exploration with a local guide, rather than just hiking or sightseeing.

Key preferences:
– Local guide-led wildlife and birdwatching focus
– 4–5 days in a natural setting, ideally in Sichuan
– Transparent, reasonable pricing from reliable sources
– No involvement in animal tourism (no touching, riding, or selfies with animals)

I’ve had trouble finding trustworthy, consistent information online about suitable itineraries and costs. Any personal experiences, recommendations, or practical tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
