The itinerary says we might see wild monkeys on Mount Emei—are they dangerous?

I’ve heard stories of monkeys stealing bags. Should I avoid carrying food, or is there a safe way to interact with them?

They’re playful but can be mischievous! Never feed them (it makes them aggressive) or carry visible food—store snacks in zipped bags inside your backpack. Keep a safe distance (3-5 meters) and don’t make sudden moves. Our guide carries a small "monkey repellent" spray (just water, but it works!) and will show you how to stand still if one approaches. Most just want to check you out—they’re more curious than dangerous, and seeing them in their natural habitat is a highlight!
