Chai Mountain (Monkey Mountain)
Please visit my flickr for more photos.
Located in the west of Kaohsiung, Chai Mountain is a wonderful place for hiking (the highest altitude in this mountain is about 365 meters, five kms in length and 2.5 kms in width). The plants and animals are protected by law now.
Formosan Rock Macaque, the most popular species in Chai Mountain, are not afraid of people. It's very easy to watch them on weekdays. However, if you have food with you, be careful, or they might steal or rob food away!!
Besides animals, you will also see the trace of coral reef. It shows you that this mountain was lower than sea long time ago.

Iris,
In Bali, Indonesia, there is a forest monkey too. The monkeys are so naughty. Some of them, besides stealing food, they will kidnap your glasses to exchange with food.
Regardless, their behaviors, I like them. They are cute.

hi Beni,
wow, sounds exactly the same as monkeys here. And yes, even if they are naughty, I still think they are very cute. :)
