Go to Son Tra peninsula in the changing season, watch the 'primate queen' foraging for food

In May, standing anywhere on Son Tra Peninsula ( Da Nang City), visitors can admire the colorful picture "painted" by flowers and leaves of endemic plants.

Each patch of forest seems to be changing color amidst the green space. Purple sim flowers, red royal poinciana, and the forest of chò chỉ... are brilliant with pink mixed with the forest of thanh mat trees (white sua) blooming with purple flowers, creating a rare romantic scene.

This season, from the top of Son Tra you can admire the beautiful scenery.

Blending into the scene, the red-shanked douc langurs - a primate endemic to Son Tra - are happily swinging from branch to branch in search of food. During this season, it is not difficult to see "languor families" swinging on branches, leisurely reaching for young leaves.

This is also the time when photographers flock to "hunt" for unique moments. However, not everyone is lucky enough to catch and capture these valuable photos.

Young chò leaves (also known as red leaves) and milky white chò flowers are one of the favorite dishes of the "primate queen" the red-shanked douc langur on Son Tra peninsula.
