对佛坪保护区最大的印象就是风景太秀美了，纯净大自然，在里面走上一天绝对心旷神怡。保护区里经常能看到三三两两的外国游客

My wife and I visited in October 2014. Here we were supposed to see three types of animals, Golden Monkeys, Pandas, and Golden Pheasants. Lets start with the good things. This was a great place to see golden monkeys in their natural habitat. Healthy parents and babies and plenty of them. Now the bad stuff. Saw one very sad Panda in a very small cage. You have got to be kidding me let that bear go free. Saw two Golden Pheasants in a horrid enclosure. Once again you have got to be kidding me let those birds go. This place is supposed to be a nature reserve. What a joke. China is a waste of time. Now the worst. Took this tour with chinabirdingtour.com. This company is pathetic. Went to this reserve as a day tour. The guide we had "Derek" knew nothing. He had never even been to this place before. He walked around in a fog the entire day. His idea of birding was to show us a crow. He didn't even know it was a crow. He said look a blackbird. I complained to chinabirdingtour.com and they never returned my correspondence. They had their money and they could care less what you think. They know there is no way to get your money back. Stay away from these people at all costs and you know what stay away from polluted China.

Foping National Nature reserve is a remote area in the qinling mountains. Travelling to the place is not easy for people who are not able to speak chinese. Otherwise if you like to see golden monkeys in their natural habitat it is the best place to do. You can travel from Xi'an by bus , which takes 4-5 hours to Foping city. There the new ecological theme hotel is an excellent recommendation for staying. The hotel can arrange a pickup service for you to the national nature reserve , you even can found a wildlife expert there , who speaks english very well. The drive to main entrance of the reserve is about 30-45 min . Then you have to walk into a beautyful valley to see the monkeys . After one hour hiking you will find a place where rangers have adapted a group of 70 golden monkeys to human apparance by feeding them with corn one time a day. Due to this you are able to get very close to the monkeys and can photograph them in their natural surroundings
