Chongqing Emei Mountain is located in the southwest of Sichuan Province, the southwest edge of the Sichuan Basin, a famous Buddhist mountain in China, a double heritage of world culture and nature, is one of China's "four famous Buddhist mountains", steep terrain, beautiful scenery, known as "Emei World Show", the highest Ten Thousand Buddha Peak on the mountain, 3,099 meters above sea level, more than 2,700 meters higher than the Emei Plain.

There are many famous temples on Mount Emei, and Buddhist rituals are frequent. It is also a national 5A-level tourist scenic spot, thousands of people come to worship and play every year, the most famous of Mount Emei is the monkeys, the monkeys here are very attractive, and all of them are mountain kings, blocking tourists at every turn, forcibly robbing food.

 Mount Emei is high and the road is dangerous, and many places do not have a lot of food that can grow for the current monkeys, and as these monkeys taste more human food, the taste has also changed, and people have been in the process of getting along with the monkeys for a long time, constantly providing some food, resulting in the spirit monkeys in Mount Emei now more clever and smart.

The monkeys on Mount Emei are not afraid of people, and they are crazy, when they see tourists coming, they are very active, sometimes jumping, sometimes crawling, or directly jumping on the tourists' bodies to search for food, if there are tourists who are afraid, they will run up more rampantly to grab things, over time, tourists are not afraid of the monkeys on Mount Emei, and every time they come up, they will bring some food to feed the monkeys.

Locals will warn tourists that when we encounter monkeys in Mount Emei, we must get along with these monkeys gently, if you treat it gently, there will be no madness. As long as tourists dare to tease the monkeys, the end will be scarred.

I met a tourist who saw that the monkey was very cute, so he ran to its side to take pictures, who thought that the monkey grabbed his neck hard, and the tourist looked down at five paw prints, and there were bloodshots, which frightened the tourists to go down the mountain to get the rabies vaccine.

Many people like to feed these monkeys when they meet them, but you must not tease him, otherwise it will not be a joke when its temper comes up, Monkeys are sometimes very vindictive, they will always stick to you, stalk you to the end, and may hurt you.

Don't look at the monkey's naïve appearance, with a cute face, when it becomes fierce, you won't regret it too late, because it is extremely fast, You can scratch scars on your body in an instant, which is very terrifying. The monkey is the only one that bullies you, but you can't fight back, because it is a protected animal by the state.

What should we do when we encounter some particularly "enthusiastic" monkeys? Because for the hungry monkeys, anything in your hand, even a bag that resembles food, will be robbed by the monkeys. If you want to avoid this kind of thing, you need to understand that in fact, the monkeys here are most afraid of those who are on crutches, perhaps because they are holding "weapons" in their hands, and most of the monkeys will stay away.

In addition, more enthusiastic tourists are reminded that if you prepare food in advance, it is best to throw it all at once to avoid unnecessary accidental injury caused by its pounce. In addition, in the process of interacting with the monkey, try not to touch the monkey's head as much as possible, because there will be a risk of being scratched by the monkey.
