The recording was made in the Pan-Himalayan region, at Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang, Yunnan, China. This is a 3000meters high-altitude wetland, facing the mountain, situated between an ancient village and the expanding city.

It was once a golf course. As awareness around ecology and environmental care grew, the course was closed, and the land was allowed to rewild ten years ago. Gradually, the trees returned, the forest came back, and with it, the birds. This became the first rewilded site in the area.

The recording I’m sharing was made toward the end of the Reveil 13 broadcast, after sunrise had already passed.
