A trip to Kam Shan Country Park

Dear friends
-

Today is sunday, 29th in July 2007, it is sunny day.

-

After a tea fight, about 4:00pm, I recommended my friends to have a look at Kam Shan Country Park because it is positioned close to the urban district in Kowloon and not far from our gathering point for tea. In fact, Kam Shan Country Park is a popular destination for morning and leisure walker, also it is famous for its macaque monkeys, these monkeys like to gather near the reservior and along the roadside of Tai Po Road where they await food from passers-by.
-
In 2002, It was an indelible experience that happened to my family, a monkey seemed reluctant to see visitors walking into the base area which it managed and the monkey itself demonstrated a dislike for my family, we ALL got a scare by its surprising behavior...At that time, I did not know what had happened, maybe the possible cause stemming from a thing happened at a wrong place and at wrong time. As you may imagine what would then be happened, almost all macaques came down on the monkey as it was a member of macaques kingdom at Kam Shan Country Park, the worst case was that they also came very close to my family.

-

Quite often, visitors ought not to feed these wild macaques as uncontrolled feeding has led to unnatural growth of the monkey population and caused nuisances to their group, and to all visitors like my family's story raised. All of these macaques are extremely aggressive to ask for foods, please do go there neither alone nor carrying plastic bags, they must follow you and try to rob your belongings. Let's cracke a joke, if someone says something to these macaques, such as "Money is Everything" or "Money can buy the dream" ...I assure you that Monkeys will then ask people where is your money, not ask for "Garden Life Bread", Soda Biscuits, Grapes or 375ml Vitasoy.
-

Not to mention the pawky monkeys, Kam Shan provides tranquil atmosphere and beautiful scene with all vistors, each visitor following the park rules would be able to enjoy and appreciate the serene atmosphere as the views would help him/her feel relaxed and refresh both his/her body and mind. In addition, I found that there are two groups of macaques, one is pawky (a group of naughty monkeys), another one is humanoid (a group of nice monkeys), I am pleased to introduce my new friends (a group of humanoid monkeys) to you and hope you can find them at Kam Shan Country Park when you visit there:
