The monkeys are no afraid of tourists.
A photographer in the area, Nguyen Van Tuan, said children and women might be in danger if they were surrounded by the monkeys. However, several visitors have been entertained by the animals and teased the monkeys.
"They have used food to encourage the monkeys to get closer to them but then would take the food away," Tuan said. "This has angered the monkeys and they have attacked visitors."
