Nestled amidst Gaoligong Mountains, Takin Valley is home to Mishimi takins. They gather in large groups and migrate with seasonal changes, so they must store enough energy before setting off. When the harsh winter arrives, they ought to reach the warmer hinterland of the mountains to join the large herd. However, their migration patterns aren't fully understood yet. In recent years, infrared cameras have been placed in the wild to observe their behaviors. Check out the video to learn more.

About Journeys in Nature: Timeless Valley Series

Dulongjiang, known as the "last uncharted land in Yunnan," is a deep valley on China's southwestern border between the Hengduan Mountains and the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The place was once shrouded in mystery, until a highway connecting the valley to the outside world was fully opened in 2014. In this series, CGTN Nature takes you on a ride to unveil the incredible fauna and flora as well as the minority Dulong people who call this place home.
