China Travel

Monkey Island delivers: For the RMB 123 price of admission, you get monkeys. On an island. Great for kids, the island features a park full of wild macaque monkeys cavorting in trees and amidst the underbrush, with a trained cohort performing tricks on stage. Much of the island is an off-limits reserve dedicated to monkey studies. Much of the fun comes in getting to the island: China's longest cable car runs from Hainan Island proper over to tiny Nanwan Houdao, sailing over a bay full of Hakka houseboats. Again, a big hit with the kids. Many adults may wish to take a pass, but then again... it's a bit of a gas just saying "Monkey Island," so even if primates (other than the human kind) aren't your priority, consider a run out.
