ZhangMuTou, Dongguan, China. Research won't help - the special thing there is the people.

Shiripuno Lodge - in the Ecuadoran Amazon basin. It's 3 hours by bus from Coca, then 3 hours by small boat up the relatively small Shiripuno River. It's about 50 miles from the nearest road or power line. We spent a week looking for rare birds and saw a lot of wildlife. Great place with guides who really know their stuff.

Most of the countryside of Belgium, a lot of people travel to Brussels and hit Brugge, Ghent, and Antwerp but ignore the rest of the country.

Awesome. I did something similar at a lodge near Iquitos, in Peru. Iquitos is the world's biggest continental city that is inaccessible by road, so it's an interesting place, as there are a lot more motorcycles than cars, because cars aren't so useful when you can only travel in the city. We took a boat a ways out to a jungle lodge for three nights and had a good time. Pole-fishing for piranhas is interesting -- you have to be careful taking them off the hook. I enjoyed it, and the Amazon itself was just incredible (I enjoyed swimming near some pink river dolphins and one of them touched my foot), but I think that, overall, I didn't see as much birdlife as I would've liked. I'm not sure that I would recommend the specific lodge that I stayed at.

Great choice. Lake Atitlan is awesome.

Not sure if NOBODY has heard of it, but I never had before it was recommended to me. If you partake, do an overnight stay:
Tikal
It’s a pretty popular tourist spot and a UNESCO world heritage site. I visited Tikal earlier this year. It was okay... much prefer Ta Prohm/Angkor Wat.

Iquitos is a cool place. I was invited on a hardcore birding trip there and we stayed at 3 different lodges up and down the Amazon river. Muyana, Explornapo, and Explorama. All three were really good and had expert bird guides leading our hikes and boat excursions. Seeing birds in the middle of the rainforest can be difficult with the thick vegetation and good guides make all the difference.
In a couple of weeks I join the same guys in Guyana which still has some pristine rainforest and is supposed to be really good.

I agree but I live Maryland and people I know travel a good deal but we are the only ones that have been to Sun Valley. If it wasn’t a bit of a PITA to get to I would retire there tomorrow.
Stanley. Not quite sure how to discribed but the water there is as blue as a crayon.

I'm definitely not in the hardcore category, despite loving birds and actually taking ornithology from Dr. Remsen while I was at LSU. I don't keep lists. But I want to go back to Sobernia National Park in Panama, as I saw more wildlife there in a few hours (without a guide) than I did spending three nights in the Amazon.

Yeah, I noticed that American Airlines just started flying to Guyana. It's on my list for sure, but my next trip is Mardi Gras week to Iguazu Falls and Patagonia.
