Klias Wetlands: A Paradise for Proboscis Monkeys and Fireflies

Hidden in the mysterious tropical jungle, the Klias Wetlands is a great place to see proboscis monkeys and fireflies thanks to its unique ecological environment and precious wildlife resources. Although it is far from the city, it is still a popular destination. In the morning, when the sun shines on the pier, a faint tea fragrance fills the air. Here, you can enjoy a cup of authentic afternoon tea and feel the tranquility and beauty of time, as if time has slowed down. After a short break, we took a boat along the Klias River to explore the mysterious world of the mangroves. The Klias River is like a green ribbon, winding through the dense mangroves. Flocks of birds soar over the river, silver leaf monkeys jump and play among the branches, and proboscis monkeys quietly drink and forage by the river. These precious animals bring endless vitality to this primeval forest. As night falls, fireflies twinkle like stars in the mangroves, adding a romantic touch to the mysterious forest. The mangroves seem to have turned into a giant Christmas tree, with fireflies like decorative lights on the tree, adding endless poetry to the quiet night. In such an environment, we can't help but be amazed by the magic of nature. The Klias Wetlands is not only an ecological treasure, but also a beautiful witness to the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. Here, we can observe the living habits of various wild animals up close and feel the magic of nature.

About 800 proboscis monkeys live in the wetland rivers and streams as it have a high density in Klias and you can see many herds on boat trips. #staycation #awesomepic
