When sunlight fades, the rainforest comes alive with a different kind of magic! 🌙 Photographer and environmentalist Doudou – think of her as a real-life ‘sound detective’ – recently led her team on a midnight expedition through Yunnan’s Xishuangbanna rainforest. Their mission? To capture the secret symphonies of creatures that only party after dark.
From chirping insects to croaking amphibians, the team recorded nature’s ‘night shift’ in action. 🐸✨ But it’s not just wildlife stealing the spotlight: the series also highlights melodies from indigenous instruments of local Dai, Hani, and Lahu communities, blending cultural heritage with ecological wonder.
This episode is part of the Melodies of Nature series, showcasing one of China’s most biodiverse regions. Earlier episodes featured daytime soundscapes and unraveled Xishuangbanna’s mysteries – now, the adventure gets even wilder under the stars. 🌌🔍
