Nanwan Monkey Island is a state-protected nature
reserve for macaque monkeys

the Xincun harbour on the east and south. It is accessible by China's
longest over-water cable car
from Xincun, spanning 2,138 metres .
Since the nature reserve was
established in 1965, the reserve has become a popular tourist destination. It
is now home to approximately 2,000 monkeys. The reserve, totalling
1,000 hectares,
is China's largest area for raising and training monkeys.
