Shidu Macaque Grand Canyon
Shidu Macaque Grand Canyon is located in Xitaihe Village within the Fangshan Shidu National Geopark, an area renowned as the "Green Mountains and Wild Ferries, a Hundred-Mile Gallery." Surrounded by mountains, the site features rugged terrain, trickling springs, and lush vegetation. The canyon boasts ancient biological remains dating back 100,000 years and numerous vivid legends from the distant past, while more recent history includes General Xiao Ke’s anti-Japanese base and many lesser-known stories. Natural wonders such as “Stone Monkey Watching the Moon,” “Gorilla Viewing the Stream,” “Phoenix Spreading Its Tail,” and “Jade Maiden Peak” are also found here. Exotic flowers and plants abound, rare birds and animals appear from time to time, there’s a vast pine forest oxygen bar, and wild macaques roam about, creating a veritable paradise on earth. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. In spring, flowers burst into green and bloom in competition; in summer, dense foliage blocks out the sun and peaks layer in emerald hues; in autumn, fruits hang heavy and red leaves paint the landscape like brocade; in winter, icy rivers become mirrors, and silver gilds the mountains and valleys.
