More than 300 bird species live in the Tangjiahe forest. With a very striking appearance, the common hoopoe has a gentle temperament. Yet it emits a repugnant stench during breeding season to repulse enemies.

Located in southwest China's Sichuan Province, the Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve forms a barrier to preserve the animals and plants that thrive in these mysterious forests. The six-episode Tangjiahe Series reveals a pristine world pulsating with life.
