As the question says, I'd like to hear what the best exhibits for Golden-Snub Nosed Monkey and Douc Langur exhibits from Asia are that you have seen. Bonus points if your could include photos or a link to photos of the exhibit on Zoo Chat or other sites. In general, I would also love to see what some of the better exhibits for any Asian monkey species are, as I feel that Asian old world primates are very rare in zoos in general. Even for ones displayed outside of Asia.

Only one I've seen was Philly's, back when they had douc langur. RIP Toi. :(
 
There are quite a few good ones out there, especially in China.

A good enclosure for Golden snub-nosed monkeys can be seen at Chimelong Safari Park:

They also have good enclosures for other Asian primates:

Francois langur:

Proboscis monkey:

Another great Snub-nosed monkey exhibit can be found at Shenzhen Safari Park, this one allows the monkeys to access actual trees:

Now I know you asked for Asia, but one should not forget the great Francois langur exhibit at LA Zoo (built originally for Golden snub-nosed monkeys), although in all fairness this exhibit could probably use more climbing structures:

Thanks so much, these are great, exactly what I've been looking for! I've seen LA's Francois Langur exhibit and knew its history about being made for Golden Monkeys, its actually part of what got me so intrigued with rare primates in the first place! I like how Shenzen's exhibit has live trees!
 
Singapore Zoo has one that allows the Primates to access real trees. It provides cover for the doucs, who seem to always be hidden among the lush vegetation.
I've seen videos of Singapore's Douc Langur exhibit, its fantastic!
 
I feel like I've seen golden snub-nose monkeys in person a long time ago but it would only be in US or western Europe - maybe I'm delusional. Have they ever come out of China in last 40 years? Thanks for any info.
 
How did that place in China get proboscis monkeys? Are there anywhere else outside of malaysia/Indonesia/Singapore that have them?

Apparently they were at Woodland Park in late 80s so guess it was there :)
