Lovely scenes of golden monkeys crossing the river

Shaanxi Zhouzhi National Nature Reserve, located in Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province, is on the north side of the main ridge of the Qinling Mountains. With a maximum altitude of 2996 meters, a relative height difference of nearly 1800 meters, and a total protected area of 56393 hectares, this nature reserve mainly protects rare animals such as golden monkeys and their living environment.

Shaanxi Zhouzhi National Nature Reserve boasts China's largest population and most concentrated distribution of golden monkeys. About 1500 golden monkeys live in the mixed forest here, which is 1500 meters above sea level. The reserve is thus known as "the hometown of golden monkeys".
