After seeing the pandas, follow the convenient road to the monkey world.

The Snow Monkey Pavilion is an ancient Buddhist temple that has been uninhabited for a long time.

Now the scenery in the stadium is very different from the past, the ground is covered with snow and silver frost, and it has become a white and quiet world.

The cold mountain road falls on the cold stream. There are often birds chirping, and there are no people in the loneliness.

The black tiles of the temple are covered with a layer of white snowflakes, which flash a glazed color under the sunlight, adding a sense of sacredness and auspiciousness to the silent Buddhist temple.

Tourists who come here can't help but be affected by the atmosphere here, and it is much quieter.

Every time Amamiya Shin comes over, in addition to watching pandas, she also likes to see snow monkeys.

Being able to see the animals of your hometown in a foreign country naturally has a kind of intimacy.

In addition to the fact that the snow monkeys come from their hometown, the environment here is also very interesting.

The mottled walls, the ape lampposts in different postures, and the macaques frolicking in the temple make people think about it, and the automatic brain makes up many stories.

Amamiya Shin and Kyoko come to the gate decorated by the Buddhist temple and enjoy the scenery inside through the glass curtain wall.

The temple is much more beautiful than usual when it snows!

The white and beautiful snowflakes make the solemn atmosphere here soft and romantic.

The masonry path leading to the monastery behind is now covered with snowflakes, and the shrubs and weeds are crystal clear like bunches of white flowers. The bamboo leaves of the arrow bamboo also have a fresh green color, which adds a sense of interest to this ice and snow world.

The green water of the pond used to be replaced by a steaming hot spring!

The white mist formed by the condensation of the hot spring air obscured the surrounding environment, and more than a dozen snow monkeys with red cheeks and gray-brown fur could be seen soaking in the hot springs.

Some of the snow monkeys are in the middle of the hot spring pool, leaning against each other, soaking in the hot springs while still brushing the fur of their companions, and their paws moving rapidly.

Some of the monkeys stay side by side on the edge of the hot springs, their paws resting on the stones.

A gust of wind blew away some of the hazy white mist, and I could see it more clearly.

Amamiya Shin saw a snow monkey on the edge of a hot spring, holding a cub in his arms.

Flick your fingers on the surface of the hot springs to create small bubbles.

The blisters appeared, and they popped them with their fingers, and they looked like they were having fun!

A snow monkey squinted its eyes and opened its mouth, as if it was moaning in comfort, with a very humane expression of lazy enjoyment.

There is also a sturdy snow monkey with some white snowflakes on its head, its paws clenched and resting on a stone, and its chin also attached to the stone.

There is a gray beard on the top of the mouth, and the eyes are bright, looking out through the hazy mist,

He tilted his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then his expression relaxed again.

Looking at its posture of soaking in the hot spring, there is a feeling of a human chubby uncle bathing in the bath.

Tourists watched this scene, and many of them had envious expressions on their faces!

"This monkey is doing better than me! You can also soak in the hot springs, so you can enjoy it! ”

"Soaking in hot springs on a snowy day, ice and fire, it feels very cool to look at!"

"This little day is so comfortable, envy the dead person! I want to sign up to be a monkey, and I can soak in the hot springs and eat fruits for free every day. ”

"There's a hot spring hotel next to it, why don't we go for a dip in the afternoon, and I'll have a treat?"

"Wow, thank you, Boss!"

Apricot squeezed her eyebrows at Amamiya Xin, and whispered: "Why don't we go to a hot spring too, I heard that hot springs can be beautiful!" Soaking in a hot spring in such weather is definitely very comfortable. ”

Amamiya's heart was suddenly a little moved!

But thinking about the balance I just settled, my shriveled wallet, and the recent expenses I had to save some, the small flame that had just been raised was suddenly extinguished.

"I have no money, I bought a lot of things on Double 11~ next month!"

Fortunately, the waterfront zoo is not high, but the cost is not high if you simply visit the zoo!

She also took the certificate of international student to apply for an annual card.

Some tourists looked emotional: "The monkeys in India climb the telephone poles, the monkeys in China are called kings in the mountains, and the monkeys in Japan soak in hot springs." The same monkeys, these Japanese snow monkeys look so well-behaved, and the dead monkeys in Mount Emei are so arrogant, rummaging through bags and grabbing things. ”

The keeper of the Snow Monkey House also came over at this time.

Hearing the comments of the tourists, he smiled, "The snow monkeys are very lively when they are not bathing in the hot springs!" It is the nature of monkeys to be lively and playful. Those monkeys in Mount Emei are used to being fed by tourists, not the natural behavior of monkeys. ”

The tourist scratches his head: "Is that so?" ”

"That's right, so why can't you feed it, not only because feeding it is not in line with the animal's eating habits, it may bring them diseases, serious cases and even death, but also bring some behavioral changes!"

The keeper went on to explain: "The Japanese macaque, also known as the snow monkey, is a species of macaque that lives in northern Japan.

Japanese macaques are active during the day and spend most of their time in the forest, fed with seeds, flower buds, fruits, eggs, leaves, and they can survive in harsh environments as low as -15 °C, which is very rare among primates.

In order to survive in such a harsh environment of low temperatures, Japanese macaques have evolved the habit of bathing in hot springs in groups.

By the way, the Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys also have the nickname of snow monkeys, probably because they inhabit the alpine coniferous forest at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and have thick fur that can cope with the negative environment of ice and snow, or because their young cubs are light white all over. ”

"Oh~"

"I also like the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey! However, the zoo only has the golden snub-nosed monkey. ”

"Snow is a winter specialty, and in the presence of snow, animals exhibit unique behaviors," the keeper said.

There is a saying that 'the dog rejoices when the snow falls, and the sparrow has a bag of air in its belly', which refers to the attitude towards snow.

On snowy days, the signs of animal walking are more obvious, which provides a lot of convenience for tracking prey, and the ancestors of dogs are wolves, so they like snow for a reason. And for small birds like sparrows, the ground is covered with snow, it is difficult to find food, and if they can't find food, they will freeze to death, which is why they don't like snow and have a bag of air in their stomachs.

You can pay attention to observe and see how the snow monkeys behave differently from usual! This is a seasonal scene. ”

After listening to the keeper's explanation, the tourists watched more carefully and carefully.

Someone pointed to a sturdy monkey on the edge of the hot spring and asked curiously, "Is that just the Monkey King?" ”

The keeper took a closer look and said with a smile: "No, that's just the deputy of the Monkey King, let's name it Uncle Bai!" Does it look like a middle-aged uncle? ”

"Indeed!"

"Which is the Monkey King?"
