About
Quick facts: Small animals with eyes bigger than their heads can only be observed up close here. They are nocturnal and rarely seen during the day. About 1,000 tarsiers are protected in this area, making it one of the few conservation zones in the world.
Highlights: Visitors can see these small primates, only 10-15 centimeters tall, quietly jumping in about 2 hectares of forest, feeling like entering a mini jungle adventure. Legend has it that the monkeys are almost fearless due to their ultrasensitive hearing, but flash photography scares them, so photos can only be taken with natural light.
Insider tips
- Wear lightweight long-sleeved clothing for insect protection.
- Bring a camera suitable for shooting in low light environments.
- Try to avoid using flash to protect the animals' eyesight.
- Get up early to avoid peak visitor times and observe the monkeys more quietly.
