The Golden Buddha's Pseudohylid Salamander lives in high mountainous areas with an altitude of 1980-2150m, where vegetation is lush. During the day, adults hide in the grass by the stream and move in the water at night. During the non-breeding season, adults stay away from water and live in a moist environment with dense shrubs and weeds on the ground. In May and August-September 1956, 181 larvae were found living in a small stream pond formed by spring water. The pond was 5m wide and 7m long, with clear water and shrimps at the bottom. The temperature on May 26 was 14-19℃, and the water temperature in the stream was 11-12℃.
Endemic to China. At present, this salamander is only found in Jinfo Mountain, Nanchuan, Chongqing, and the population is very small.
