★★★★★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.
