Yunnan Snub-nosed Monkey Park (Tacheng)
滇金丝猴国家公园
A Yunnan snub-nosed monkey observation point in Xianggu Qing, Tacheng. Visitors can get close to wild families of Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys. It is a national 4A-level tourist attraction.
The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey is a rare primate found only in China. It lives only in the Yunling Mountains on the border between Yunnan and Tibet. Xianggu Qing in Tacheng Town is part of the Baima Snow Mountain National Nature Reserve. Staff at the local protection station have tracked a wild troop for a long time. Visitors follow a path with a staff guide to observation points in the forest, where you often see the monkeys foraging, grooming, and caring for their young. The morning feeding period is the best time to see them, and the visit takes about 1–2 hours. Admission and viewing times follow the scenic area's announcements. Keep a safe distance, turn off flash, and do not feed the monkeys yourself. It is about 60 km from the county town and can be combined with a day trip to Damo Ancestor Cave.
