File photo of golden snub-nosed monkey. Photographer Ding Kuanliang began to take photos of golden snub-nosed monkey in Aug. 1999, and this interest has brought him to Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in over a decade. During one trip to Qinling Mountains in Sept. 2002, Ding happened to meet about 60 monkeys playing on and jumping between trees, so he had the unique chance to capture some stunning shots of the lovely, nimble animals. Ding’s photos are known as “warm, harmonious and full of care.” Xi Zhinong, a well-known photographer of wild animals, also praises Ding’s works “appealing” and wishes the works can help promote awareness of environmental protection.
