Monkey Bridges, Vietnam
Spreading over a myriad of rivers and swamps known as the Mekong Delta, the Monkey Bridges of Vietnam are sure to make you think twice before crossing. Handmade from only one bamboo log, these traditional Vietnamese bridges require swift monkey-like movements to get across. Some bridges even lack handrails, challenging your balance further.

It’s easy to be deceived by locals who make it seem like an effortless stride, carrying at times 20-50 kg on their back! But an inexperienced tourist should approach these bridges with caution. We may have come from apes, but our days of swinging over branches have long been replaced by comfortable pavements.
