A macaque nature reserve peninsula on Xincun Harbor in Lingshui, home to more than 2,000 wild macaques and China's only island-type macaque reserve; ride the cable car onto the island for bird's-eye views of the Dan (Tanka) fishing rafts. On the island, macaques move about in groups and interact with visitors, and the monkey-viewing route has protective design and feeding rules, making the "Macaque Kingdom" deeply immersive. Below, in Xincun Harbor, the Dan people have made boats their home for generations, their offshore fishing rafts stretching into "villages on the water"—sailing through them for a seafood meal on a fish raft is an authentic local experience. The cableway is 2,138 meters long in total, and the sea-crossing scenery is an attraction in itself.
Getting there: Xincun Wharf, Lingshui
