A wild monkey leaves a tourist terrified by clinging to her back.

Footage shows the woman in a blue dress screaming in fear as the mischievous long-tailed macaque climbs onto her black backpack in Guizhou, China.

In another clip, she can be seen crossing her arms as the primate clutches her long skirt on September 9.

The playful monkey, along with its companion, then sways the dress while the frightened holidaymaker walks away with her friends.

Monkeys are common in the area, and there have been reports of them taking items and even entering homes in search of food.

Park management advises tourists not to approach the monkeys or touch them, as they may become aggressive if threatened.

Risks from monkey bites include serious wound infections, herpes B virus, and rabies.
