After breakfast, we will drive to Lingshui, with our destination being the vibrant and interesting Nanwan Monkey Island.
As China's unique island-type macaque nature reserve, it is home to
more than 2,500 lively macaques, which are nature's elves, and together
with the island's nearly 400 species of tropical plants and 100 species
of animals, they create a vivid ecological picture.
Upon arrival
at Monkey Island, we will take a unique cable car ride, a breathtaking
journey across the blue sea. As the cable car rises slowly, the coastal
scenery and the scattered fishing villages along the way are interwoven
into a moving picture, making you feel as if you are in a flowing
landscape painting.
After getting off the cable car, you will
officially step into the Nanwan Monkey Island Park, which will be a
paradise for close contact with macaques. You can follow the park's
carefully paved paths through the lush jungle, where the monkeys lounge
in the sun, jump from branch to branch, and some of the boldest of them
will sneak up on you to get a curious look at your new visitor. You can
witness them playing in the water, climbing trees and picking fruits,
and interacting with people in a way that is both shy and curious, each
interaction filled with laughter and warmth.
In the afternoon, we will board a boat and sail to the Danjia Bay,
a mysterious village floating on the Xincun Harbor. The villagers here
have been living on boats and fishing for generations, and their unique
way of life and deep family culture form a bright landscape on this sea.
You can stroll among the wooden boat houses, talk with the locals and
listen to the touching stories about the sea, boats and family heritage,
and you will deeply feel the unique charm and profound heritage of
boat-dwelling culture.
With the setting sunlight spreading over
the surface of the sea, we will end the day's wonderful sightseeing and
drive to the hotel to draw a successful conclusion for this
unforgettable Lingshui trip.
Notes:
1) Dress plainly, brightly colored clothes will attract monkeys' attention and increase the risk of interaction.
2) Open your bag carefully in front of the monkeys to avoid misjudging it as a source of food, which may lead to scrambling.
3)
Be careful when feeding the monkeys, give the monkeys in a single
serving to avoid competition among monkeys and to ensure a safe
distance.
4) When children are interacting with monkeys, adults
should supervise the whole process and do not leave young children alone
to prevent accidents.
5) Treat the monkeys with respect and do
not intimidate, scream or stomp on the monkeys to prevent them from
misinterpreting it as hostility and to ensure harmonious coexistence.
