There are some attractive tourist destinations along the street such as an antiques museum, an amusement park and historical sites. However, the monkey statues make the street different.
According to local residents, the 20-kilometer road was upgraded around ten years ago to make it possible for visitors to tour around Son Tra Peninsula. It runs around the peninsula, passes through the mountain, heads towards the sea and reaches Tien Sa Beach.
Thousands of concrete monkey statues coated with electrostatic paint to protect them from corrosion sit on the road railing.
Monkeys on Son Tra are protected by local residents because before people came to reclaim the area hundreds of years ago, the peninsula was home to monkeys only. Now there are a lot of monkeys living in the forest and on the mountain of the peninsula. Therefore, tourists can see monkeys when they visit the peninsula.
Early in the morning or late in the afternoon, visitors can follow rangers to go deep into the forest to see monkeys in their natural habitat.
The primitive forest on Son Tra Peninsula has been strictly protected to ensure the habitats of animals there remain intact.
