"The forests in Guangxi are denser and more humid," she said. "Everything feels wilder, and there are many more species to discover."
Wang now works at Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Spot in Nanning. One evening in June, while walking home from work, she followed a faint call and spotted three Asian barred owlets resting on a branch at dusk.
When she returned the next morning, they were gone. "It felt like a dream," she recalled.
Wang said one of the most important birdwatching skills is learning to identify birds by sound, while also understanding their habits, migration patterns and behavior.
