Monkey Bridges This time, it is not only just one bridge but a number of bridges that have the same name and are located in Vietnam. They were built by locals to consist of just one bamboo log and a handrail. The bridges are called monkey bridges not because they are built for monkeys but because when you cross them and grab the handrail, your posture will look like a monkey and you have to keep like that in order not to fall in the river below you.
