12 Days Viewing Golden-Hair
Monkeys in Yunnan
|
|
Yunnan is situated at the
southwest corner of China,
borders Tibet, Burma, Laos,
and Vietnam. It has everything
from the towering snow mountains
to the tropical rain forest,
so it earned another name
as the Kingdom of Plants and
Animals.
Recent survey by the Kunming
Zoology Institute showed that
there are about 2000 golden
monkeys living in the mountains
in the northwest part of Yunnan,
especially the triangle area
where Weixi, Deqin and Zhongdian Counties
border with.
In this tour, our professional
mountain tour guide will take
you to the triangle area and
camp in the mountain for 5
nights, trying to view this
lovely animal. |
