Special Yunnan Lifestyle| Langurs, monkeys, gibbons... They have "jumped" into the spring! Black snub-nosed monkeys stay together on trees.

Spring is a magical season. This is particularly the case in Yunnan.

With a provincial capital (Kunming) known as the City of Eternal Spring, Yunnan has amazed the world through different means, including its incredible biodiversity.

Run Ning and Shan Lan, two local photographers, recently captured three species of primates by their cameras - namely Indochinese grey langur, black snub nosed-monkey and black crested gibbon - in two national nature reserves in Yunnan.

They jumped, swang and scurried through the canopy. Cherry and azalea flowers became their ultimate delicacies.

What these photographs show is a world you might have never seen before!

Looking at these small but swift and graceful animals, we genuinely feel how wonderful the nature is, and how strong the power of life could be!
