★★★★★Edited 2 years agoA nature walk where monkeys roam free? I quickly added it to my "Must-see" list in my Hong Kong trip! 😂 My sister and I went there not knowing what to expect, and we really saw so many monkeys! I almost felt like I was invading their privacy. We made sure we didn't have any food on us and we were aware of the rules to not feed monkeys. Unfortunately, we saw others feeding monkeys and the monkeys started gathering in a group near the path, and I was actually kind of scared to walk too close to the monkeys! We got some pretty good photos of the beautiful mountains and water views. The reservoir is so pretty and if you go there in the afternoon to catch the sunset, it’s even prettier! It was a very nice walk. I just love Hong Kong so much and love that everything is so easily accessible via metro. Can't wait to come back with my family!

★★★★★2 years agoWho knew Hong Kong had its own monkey forest? And these monkeys are no joke. Please be careful! The monkeys can be aggressive and you will be in the middle of nowhere. Don't bring any food or plastic. The monkey associate plastic bag sounds with food. Keep a distance from the monkeys.
