“It may seem that only monkeys could make it across traditional monkey bridges – after all. They’re typically made of a single bamboo log and one handrail. However, the name comes from the stooped monkey-like posture you have to maintain when crossing, so as not to plunge into the river below.”, reported by the Travel & Leisure.

No one can deny that one of the most endearing sights in Mekong Delta is watching a person making their way across one of the fascinating “monkey bridges”, which are usually built of uneven logs about 30cm to 80cm wide and have only a simple bamboo railing. In Mekong, this kind of bridge can be seen everywhere as they are suspended from 2m to 10m above the canals and helps to connect local small villages to main roads.

Though the infrastructure throughout the Mekong Delta has seen much improvements, the traditional Monkey bridges of local people there will be treasured and preserved to make the most amazing experience to foreign tourists traveling to Mekong Delta.
