Hidden Spot to See Golden Snub-Nosed Monkeys Up Close!

#discoverchina 🐒 Hidden Spot to See Golden Snub-Nosed Monkeys Up Close! This secret place lets you get up close and even feed golden snub-nosed monkeys! 🙋♀️ If you love animals, don’t miss this experience! 🧭 Navigation: Sichuan Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey Education & Research Base 📍 Location: Huangyang Tibetan Township, Pingwu County, Mianyang 🚗 Self-drive: ~5 hours from Chengdu 🎫 Tickets: ¥50 per adult, free for kids under 1.2m You can feed the monkeys for just ¥10 per bag of carrots! 🥕🐵 🚙 How to Get There You can take a car directly to the parking lot and then walk along a wooden trail for about 20 minutes to reach the monkey gathering area. 🐒 Fun Facts About Golden Snub-Nosed Monkeys - Their scientific name is Rhinopithecus roxellana, also known as snub-nosed monkeys because they don’t have a nasal cavity. - They are extremely picky about their environment, requiring high levels of negative oxygen ions in the air, which is why this place is so lush and refreshing! 🌳🍃 - The base is home to four monkey families, including family groups and bachelor groups, with over 40 monkeys in total! ✋ Travel Tips: 🏡 Stay overnight in Shuijing Town, just 30 minutes away by car. 🐒 Arrive early to catch the first feeding session for the closest experience! 🍃 Watch as staff call the monkeys down from the mountains to feed them fresh leaves. 🍎 Bring extra fruits and sweet potatoes to feed them (but follow staff instructions for safety!). 💡 Why It's Worth the Trip? Unlike zoos, you’ll see wild monkey families playing, feeding, and interacting naturally. If you have extra time, you can also visit Tiger Tooth Grand Canyon, Tianmu Lake, and Baxi Jiagu Village nearby. #gopagoda #privatetour #chinatravel #chinadestinations #chinaphoto #explorechina #chinatrip #tourchina #chinaprivatetour #chinaluxury #china #chinatravel #sichuan #westernsichuan #tibet #tibettravel #tibettour #sichuantravel #sichuantour #wildlife #goldensnubnosedmonkey #pingwu #stayandwander #folkscenery #beyondthelands #hiddengems
