Monkeys have a special status in Bali, where not only the number of monkeys is large, but also many myths and legends about monkeys. In the Hindu culture of Bali, these monkeys are considered to be subordinates of the monkey Hanuman and should be worshipped as gods (the image of the holy god Hanuman in the Journey to the West is also derived from the mythical god Hanuman). Not far north-west of Ubud, there is a forest of monkeys living, called Ubud Holy Monkey Forest, not only a park, but also a nature reserve, and one of the most popular attractions for tourists.

On both sides of the road, there are many local small merchants and hawkers. They are selling local characteristics. There are many tourists choosing their favorite souvenirs. They are still very similar to their peers. I also walk, eat, watch, and shop. I like it.
Monkey Forest Road is particularly lively. This road is not wide. There are various small vendors on both sides. They sell local handicrafts. As long as you can bargain, you will still get a harvest. There are many things and it is very special.
Love the atmosphere and make people linger.
There are a lot of monkeys on this road!
Interesting experience getting this close to monkeys, they can seem aggressive at times so be careful
There will be a lot of monkeys on this road, so it's called the Monkey Forest Road.
