We took the flight KY8313 from Zhuhai to Tengchong on 25 Dec and left from Tengchong to Zhuhai by KY8317 on 26 Dec. We just did 4.5 hours birding in Hetou Zhai (河头寨) and saw 59 species, not bad indeed. This proved we can make weekend trips to Yunnan from Hong Kong which I just spent around 2000HKD for 15 lifers!
For anyone who wanna twtich the honeyguide or bird in Hetou Zhai (河头寨), feel free to contact 小王 by WeChat: ssyilubba or phone: 13987528048.
