During the just-concluded National Day holiday, thousands of tourists from home and abroad visited national parks in Shangri-La to take a closer look at the snub-nosed monkeys there.

From October to 7, the Shangri-La national parks saw around 2,000 monkey watchers taking various cameras, 70% of whom come from areas outside Diqing Prefecture.

In the Baima Snow Mountain Nature Reserve, visitors stopped to watch the snub-nosed monkey’s eating habits, and from time to time some used their mobile phones and cameras to record the movements of the monkeys.
