China Wildlife Tours
China Wildlife Tours
China, a land of vast territory and unparalleled geographical diversity, is a realm where nature thrives. From the snow leopards roaming the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the world's highest plateau, to the Giant Pandas hidden in the dense Qinling mountains, from the vibrant, endemic pheasants of the southwestern forests to the leaping Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins in the azure South China Sea, unique and diverse geographical units have nurtured a host of peerless wildlife. This makes China one of the most biodiverse nations on Earth.
Our expertly guided expeditions span China's three great geographical steps, leading you through these magnificent ecological corridors. Come and personally witness the natural epic jointly composed by life and the land.
HIGHLIGHTS Of China Wildlife Tours
BEST EXPERIENCES
Snow Leopard Tracking & Photography
China hosts the largest population of snow leopards in the world. Guided by our wildlife experts and photographer, we travel deep into the Tibetan Plateau to track snow leopards, Pallas’s cats, lynx, Tibetan foxes, blue sheep, Tibetan antelope, wild yaks and more.
China Endemic Pheasants Tracking & Photography
China holds the richest pheasant diversity in the world, including more than twenty species found nowhere else, such as the legendary Chinese Monal, with only around 6,000–10,000 individuals left in the wild. Guided by Eastogo’s birding experts, you’ll venture into their mountain habitats to seek out these rare and dazzling alpine birds.
Spoon-billed Sandpiper Tracking & Photography
China is one of the key wintering grounds for the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, giving you an exceptional chance to observe one of the rarest shorebirds on Earth—only about 443 adults remain worldwide. Together with Eastogo’s birding experts, we travel through coastal wetlands in Guangdong to track and photograph this critically endangered species.
Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin Tracking & Photography
Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin gradually turns a soft pink as its body temperature rises during movement—an almost fairy-tale marine species. Around 6,000 individuals remain worldwide, with roughly 5,000 living along China’s coast. Guided by Eastogo’s marine wildlife experts, we explore the coastal waters of Guangdong to encounter and photograph this rare and beautiful dolphin.
Western Black Crested Gibbon Tracking & Photography
The Western Black Crested Gibbon is one of the world’s rarest primates. With fewer than 1,500 individuals remaining globally, over 1,400 of which reside in China, its unique song faces the risk of disappearing from our forests forever. Guided by Eastogo's local rangers and wildlife experts, we follow their calls through remote mountain forests in search of this elusive singer of the wild.
Birdwatching at Asia’s Largest Wintering Ground for Migratory Birds
Each winter, 600,000–800,000 migratory birds gather at Poyang Lake, where spectacular mass take-offs unfold daily. Iconic species such as the Siberian Crane and Oriental Stork, symbols of Eastern elegance, are present here in remarkable numbers.
China boasts the world's largest Snow Leopard population (60% global total). Guided by Eastogo's award-winning wildlife experts and photographers, we journey into Qinghai Province (over 1,200 leopards) to track the elusive "Spirit of the Mountains." Big Cats Expedition
