China: Chinese Bulbul perched on a pillar in Wenshu Yuan (Wenshu Temple), Chengdu, Sichuan Province

The Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis), also known as the Chinese Bulbul, is a bird and a member of the bulbul family.

Wenshu Yuan (Wenshu Temple) dates back to the Tang Dynasty (June 18, 618–June 4, 907), and was originally known as Xinxiang Temple. It is now a popular Zen Buddhist temple.

Chengdu, known formerly as Chengtu, is the capital of Sichuan province in Southwest China. In the early 4th century BC, the 9th Kaiming king of the ancient Shu moved his capital to the city's current location from today's nearby Pixian.
