It is an altitudinal migrant, spending the summer months above 1000 m and moving below 600m in the winter. It is often found in thick bamboo and deep scrub forests. The Emei Shan liocichla is an olive-grey coloured bird with red wing patches. The plumage on the face is grey with a slight red ring on each side of the face. The species feeds in the undergrowth of semi-tropical rainforest. It is an herbivore.
