## Qianling Park Monkey Avoidance Guide

### 🚨 Qianling Park is now free to enter (including the zoo and the Giant Panda Pavilion)! The Giant Panda Pavilion is open from 10:00 to 17:00. On weekends, one-way traffic requires allowing time for queuing. Over three thousand macaques are in their active period, with monkey groups gathering from Jiuqu Path to Hongfu Temple. **Watching monkeys is free but beware of food snatching attacks**. --- ### ⚠️ **Monkey Avoidance Tips** 1. **Avoiding Monkey Risks** - **No plastic bags or exposed food**, keep backpack zippers tightly closed to avoid monkey attacks; - When encountering monkeys blocking the way, **slowly back away without making eye contact**, seek volunteers in red clothing in emergencies; - Feeding monkeys is fined 500 yuan! The park has added voice warnings and patrol staff. 2. **Avoid Crowds and Save Time** - Enter before 7:00 AM to avoid crowds; Hongfu Temple and Kanzhu Pavilion areas tend to be congested in the afternoon; - **Long queues at restrooms before 10 AM**, it’s recommended to use facilities at Yinhai Yuanlong Plaza before entering. --- ### 🚇 **Best Transportation Options** - **Subway preferred**: Line 3 directly to "Qianling Park Station" Exit C, enter through the South Gate (avoid peak hours 8:00-9:30 AM); - **Driving tips**: South Gate parking is insufficient ❌, park instead at **West Gate Sports Park Parking Lot** (180 spaces, 280 meters from gate) or **Guizhou International Conference Center** (500+ spaces, 15-minute walk); - **Return trip hack**: Hard to get a taxi at South Gate exit, walk to Tianyi Howard Johnson Hotel (Zaoshan Road) or Guizhou Medical University Cancer Hospital (Beijing Road) to hail a taxi, saving 30% time. --- ### 🗺️ **Must-Do Route Plan (4-hour highlights)** 1. **South Gate → Cable Car (20 yuan one way) → Kanzhu Pavilion**: Overlook Guiyang panorama, capture city and mountain silhouettes in morning mist; 2. **Hongfu Temple → Qianling Lake**: Pray at the temple then stroll along the lake, rent a rowboat for 30 yuan/hour to paddle on the clear water (life jacket required); 3. **Zoo → Qilin Cave**: Free viewing of black swans and South China tigers, explore the prison site of Zhang Xueliang, the cave’s stalactites bring cool air; 4. **Sanling Bay Plaza**: Final stop at the monkey feeding area (outside the fence), safer to watch baby monkeys play. --- ### 🌶️ **Local Food Highlights** - **In-park snacks**: Hongfu Temple vegetarian meals (available from 11:30), Qianling Lake silk rolls (thin pancakes wrapped with ten kinds of vegetables + sour and spicy sauce, 10 yuan/serving); - **Nearby local flavors**: Turn left at South Gate for **Zhou’s Intestine Noodles** (blood curd + pork intestine + crispy sausage), or right for **Zhou’s Tofu Balls** (crispy outside, tender inside, served with fish mint dipping sauce). --- ### 💡 **Travel Philosophy** > At Qianling Mountain, you touch the miracle of urban and wilderness coexistence—amid the incense smoke of Hongfu Temple, macaques leap over century-old trees; outside the glass walls of Kanzhu Pavilion, black leaf monkeys call through the mountain streams. > This ecological theater, still vibrant after the 5-yuan entrance fee disappeared, teaches us: true luxury is making nature part of everyday city life.
