I saw hardly any wildlife in China. I did see Red Pandas (Ailurus fulgens, german: Westlicher Kleiner Panda, french: Petit panda) well as the Giant Pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, german: Großer Panda, french: Panda géant) in a zoo in Chongqing, and more Giant Pandas in the Wolong Panda Reserve.

The Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries - Wolong, Mt Siguniang and Jiajin Mountains is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The South China Karst is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Here are a few pictures of nature in China.
