Date:4th February 2026
Summary:On October 17, 2025, in Qianlingshan Park, Guiyang, Guizhou, the video captured a tense and dangerous encounter between a visitor and a wild macaque. The footage showed a man standing close to a macaque during his visit to the park. As the animal approached, the man suddenly raised his hand and slapped the macaque. Within seconds, the macaque reacted aggressively, leaping forward and delivering a forceful flying kick that struck the man. After the video circulated online, park staff said they had not received any formal incident report or direct feedback from visitors. The park reiterated safety warnings, reminding tourists not to feed, tease, or provoke the monkeys, as they are wild animals capable of unpredictable behaviour. The video ended with the macaque retreating as onlookers reacted to the brief but alarming confrontation.
