My story




I remember quite clearly when my friends and I went to Gui Ling in 2003.

We went to the Seven-Star Rock Hole Garden on the sunny day. We fell so happy when we were in the grotto. There are many kinds of rare rocks that form a wonderful view. We left the grotto after 1 hour. Then we were planning to go out for lunch.

When we through the pathway where there are a lot of monkeys. At the beginning, a monkey came towards us. We were happy to play with it and wanted to give it some food. Suddenly, we heard some noise from the trees. We were so scared when we saw about 20 monkeys were coming towards us. They were screaming horribly. We were forced back to the edge of the hill. This happened so quickly, so we didn’t know what to do. “Call the police!” a girl was screaming. My friend rang the police as soon as possible. The monkeys were coming closer and closer to us. We only had two options. Option 1 was to run back along the pathway regardless of the monkeys’ attacking. Option 2 was to climb down the hill with the risk of falling down. At that time, the gardener was coming. When the monkeys saw him, they dispersed immediately. It was unbelievable. We were lucky to escape.

That was my most happy and thrilling travel.

It must have been so frightening!

I've only seen monkeys once in a temple in Kuala Lumpur. There were quite a few of them climbing everywhere inside the temple, which was in a cave on a hill, but they never approached us. I would have run fro my life!
