An over-sea cable car and tropical nature
Monkey Island (Nanwan)
A nature reserve of macaques in the Lingshui area. The way to the island runs by cable car over a sea bay, and on the island itself guests stroll, watch the monkeys and take photographs in a genuinely tropical setting.
An easy walk with no demanding route, plenty to watch and plenty to photograph. The charm of the place lies in its living natural atmosphere and the closeness to the animals. It can be combined with the hot springs for a full day out.

An over-sea cable car
The way to the island runs by cable car over the sea bay. From up high, views open onto the water, the boats, the shoreline and a floating fishing village — the sense of "soaring" above the island makes the excursion visually striking even before you set foot on it.
Meeting the macaques
The amusing, lively and very curious residents of the island. It is important to stay calm: do not tease the monkeys, do not hold food or shiny objects in your hands, and keep a firm grip on your phone, glasses and bag. You may feed them only the approved food and following your guide’s instructions.
