Vietnam Monkey Bridge (Cau Khi): The Traditional Mekong Delta Bridge
A Vietnamese Monkey Bridge, known locally as Cau Khi, is a narrow bamboo or wooden footbridge traditionally used to cross the small canals and waterways of the Mekong Delta. With a slender walking surface and simple handrails—or sometimes no handrails at all—crossing one can be challenging for first-time visitors and is a memorable way to experience rural life in southern Vietnam.
Monkey bridges are more than a tourist attraction. They reflect how people in the Mekong Delta have adapted to a landscape filled with rivers, canals and waterways. Today, travelers can experience monkey bridges at several eco-tourism sites and rural destinations around Ben Tre, Vinh Long and Can Tho. This guide explains what a Monkey Bridge is, why it is called Cau Khi, how difficult it is to cross and where you can experience one during a Mekong Delta trip.
