I'm a birder on month 5 of a trip through Asia and am currently in Sichuan. I was hoping to pay a visit to Wolong Reserve, but I'm getting conflicting opinions about the current status of the place. I'm hoping someone can tell me if the road from Chengdu is being traversed by public buses, and if there's at least one cheap hotel, one taxi, and one restaraunt operating in Wolong Village (Sawan)--I think that's all I need. I'm hoping to walk up to Wuyipeng on 2 or 3 days if I can't arrange an on-the-spot stay at the center. Does anyone know if Wuyipeng is staffed right now? Any thoughts on trying Balan Shan Pass in mid-April? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
