A female tourist sustained deep marks and bite wounds after two wild monkeys attacked her seemingly out of nowhere while she was hiking with friends.

The tourist, not named, was reportedly visiting Wugong Mountain, located in Pingxiang, in China’s eastern Jiangxi Province, with her sister and two friends.

Just half an hour into the hike, the group reportedly came face to face with five wild macaques at around 4pm on 7th March.

Despite their attempts to drive them away, she said that the monkeys continued to harass them.

She and another friend from the group ended up being bitten by the macaques.

The footage shows the young woman being chased by two monkeys on the steps up the mountain.

She could be heard crying out (in Chinese), saying: “What should I do? It bit me.”

A photo taken moments after the attack shows the tourist’s leg bleeding from a wound with clear bite marks.

Staff from the scenic area reportedly intervened and took the bitten tourists to a medical station to receive vaccinations.

They later confirmed the incident, explaining that the macaques had recently descended from the mountain due to the warming weather.

A staff member said: “In the past, tourists usually scratched by monkeys.

“Being bitten like this is relatively rare and considered more severe.

“Our scenic area has purchased accident insurance. And we will reimburse the vaccination costs for tourists.”

Staff also reminded tourists to stay away from monkeys as much as possible and never feed them.

If they do spot monkeys, tourists should immediately call the scenic area, and staff will be dispatched to drive them away.
