About 'Journeys in Nature': Minshan Mountains Series

At the break of dawn, the peaks are veiled by clouds and mist. The sun slices through and awakens lives beneath the clouds. You'll never know what you'll encounter when you go for a walk in nature! Our film crew unexpectedly ran into a sleeping panda while exploring the Minshan mountains in southwest China. And 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. "Journeys in Nature: Minshan Mountains Series." Together, we'll walk next to pandas and explore breathtaking mountain scenery.
