    [description] => China’s Yellow Sea coast sits beneath one of the world’s great migration flyways. The mudflats and wetlands that edge the coastline here are of vital importance for the survival of 17 globally-threatened migratory waders, including the critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper. This exciting tour will include a visit to the key site for this charismatic and sought-after little shorebird, guided by the very person responsible for identifying the area’s importance for this species! ‘Spoonies’ aside, the mudflats of the Yellow Sea also provide food and rest for nearly 40 species of wader, including Great Knot, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper and Nordmann’s Greenshank! It is not just the waders that will feature, however, for the region’s varied habitats often shelter large numbers of migrant passerines too in October, including Siberian and White’s Thrushes, Siberian Rubythroat, Mugimaki Flycatcher, Rufous-tailed Robin and Pallas’s Reed Bunting.

                    [description] => China is one of the world’s oldest continuous civilisations. Its religious and cultural influence has extended across the whole of East Asia and it is home to one of the earliest known specimens of Homo erectus – commonly referred to as Peking Man.
The first Chinese dynasty to leave written records was the Shang, which settled along the Yellow River in the 11th century, and in 1912 dynastic rule came to an end when the Republic of China was formed.

China is a vast country ranging from mainly mountains and plateaus in the west to lower country in the east. The great Himalayan range and the Tibetan plateau extend into south-east China. Here, three great Asian rivers – the Yangtze, Mekong and Salween – emerge from the heart of Tibet and forge their way towards the sea through the highest mountains in the world.
