| Besides bamboo bridges and pontoon bridges, in some places people also choose rafts as a means of crossing the river. This is a suitable means of transport for sections of rivers and streams with slow-flowing water. (Photo taken in Cham village, Hanh Dich commune, Que Phong district). Photo: Ho Phuong |
