You'll never know what you'll encounter when you go for a walk in nature!

Our filming crew unexpectedly ran into a sleeping panda while exploring the Minshan mountains in southwest China. But the black and white bears aren't the only species they spotted there. Macaques swinging between trees and Chinese Muntjac deer leaping through bushes kept our team entertained and busy during their journey.

From September 18 to 27, CGTN Nature will present its new series, "Journeys in Nature: Minshan Mountains Series." Together, we'll walk next to pandas and explore breathtaking mountain scenery.
