This sentence is used to describe Mount Emei today. Many tourists are afraid to climb the mountain for fear of this group of Po Hou people. Let's take a look at the origin of these Emei monkeys first. It belongs to the largest macaque in China, with a short tail of only about seven centimeters, a body length of 70 centimeters and a weight of about 20 kilograms. At present, the population of Mount Emei is about 1200. They are the elders of this mountain. They lived here as early as 2000 years ago and practiced with many Buddhist monks, so they are also called Emei monkey lay. At that time, monkeys still lived in the deep mountains and forests, collecting food for a living by themselves, and it was not easy to get close to humans.

Since 1980s, Emei Mountain has been open to the public as a tourist attraction, and monkeys, as a major feature of the scenic spot, are very popular among tourists. With more and more people going up the mountain, monkeys have more and more contact with people, and they are gradually not afraid of human beings. They also found that humans often bring them a lot of food, which saves them the trouble of collecting food. So the habitat of these monkeys gradually moved to the tourist activity area. Nowadays, many monkeys have become pure hand-holding parties, and even learned to block roads and rob, becoming bandits in Emei Mountain. How terrible are the monkeys in Emei Mountain?
