Seeing the Monkeys

In the lush forest of the Baihua Mountain, there are four groups about 2000 monkeys, some big group with above a hundred monkeys and the small one also with more than 20. After years of cultivation in the wild, 3 groups of 200 monkeys are for watching. In the morning, the keeper will send the feed to a fixed spot. Hearing a whistle and seeing a small flag, the monkeys will gather in the spot from all corners and eat the feed on the ground, or unfold the keeper's hand and grab and eat the corns, some even dare to take food from visitors' hands. Thanks to proper feeding and cultivation, the monkeys are tender and human-like, being the monkey groups with the biggest number in the country.
