You obviously haven't looked very hard. I entered "macaques hong kong" into a popular search engine and got 97,700 responses. Adding the word "history" gave me 43,600 sites.

Macaque Monkeys
Macaques live in many different habitats across the globe, making them the most widely distributed genus of nonhuman primates. Macaques (especially Macaca mulatta and M. fascicularis) are commonly used in research—most recently in AIDS research. Their coloration includes gray, brown or black fur. They tend to be heavily built and medium to large in stature. Males and females may differ in weight, body size and canine size. (from Nonhuman Primates in Biomedical Research: Biology and Management pp 41)

Macaques are native to Asia and Northern Africa, but thousands are housed in research facilities, zoos, wildlife or amusement parks, and are kept as pets in private homes throughout the world.

This is someone who studies these types of monkeys.

Kam Shan, or Monkey Hill to most locals, is a famous macaques kingdom in Hong Kong. The macaques are the largest group of mammals in the park. Major species occurring here are Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta) and Longtailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis). These monkeys are probably descendants of individuals released by pet owners, whereas wild macaque groups native to Hong Kong have almost disappeared due to habitat destruction and over-hunting.
