Instead of walking a tightrope, you have to wade across the river. We can see that the river in the video is faster. Although the water is not very deep, it is large and small for monkeys, so it will also cause other smaller members to be easily washed away by the water or cause drowning. There may be monkeys left behind and no monkeys can be found. This made the monkey led by the Monkey King cross the river through the wire rope.
Moreover, these two steel wires are probably specially set for monkeys, because there are two steel wires when going up and down, and people generally don't get two if they use them. And the location at that time was in a scenic spot, and there was a bridge not far from the steel wire. Tourists also took videos on the bridge, and everyone can see this scene when crossing the river. Therefore, it is very likely that the scenic spot has set up these two steel wires specifically for tourists to find more fun.
In short, these two steel wires facilitate the activities of monkeys and make tourists have more fun. They kill two birds with one stone. Moreover, the cost of pulling two steel wires is not high, only a few thousand dollars at most, but the benefits it produces are very high. It has brought great value to both species protection and the creation of tourist attractions.
It is really strange for tourists to see this scene. Because in our impression, monkeys are particularly naughty and unruly, we rarely see this kind of queuing scene, just like our human behavior. Therefore, this has also aroused the interest of tourists. In the process of monkey walking a tightrope, a monkey fell, which also aroused the cheers of tourists and made everyone particularly excited.
