In Sichuan province, a friend visited a famous Panda preserve (Wolong) , the
Leshan Buddha,and the world heritage Jiuzhaighou (sp.?) Nature Reserve with
the VENT tour group out of Texas--I believe it was in the spring. If
interested, their web address is <www. ventbird.com>. I'm sure they would be
helpful. Incidentally, I hear that the food is wonderful! Happy (and lucky!)
Birding. Murray
