Overview
A winter trip to China visiting my parents in 上海. On our way to 上海, we had an overnight connection in Vancouver. We stayed in China for about 4 weeks to wait for our F1 visa renewals. During that time, we made a 5-day trip to 云南.
Even though I grew up in China, this was actually my first time birding in China, so I saw a lot of lifers.
