This field guide showcases the work of leading Chinese ornithologists, birdwatchers, and illustrators. China is among the top-ten countries in the world with the most speciose avifauna, and is home to many endemic species. In recent years, Chinese scientists have made more in-depth investigations on birds, describing a large number of new species, and the number and level of bird-watching people, as well as their aesthetics and needs, have all increased.

The book systematically describes all 1,491 species known from China and provides more than 1,000 distribution maps, 800 sonograms, and over 4,000 scientifically accurate illustrations, that carefully and beautifully portray the shape and identifying characters. This book is professional, practical, and artistic.
