This bridge on a small stream was built by the Japanese community back in 1593. It links the Japanese and the Chinese quarters. On both ends of the bridge there are altars with guardians; dogs on one side, and monkeys on the other one. In the middle of the bridge there is a small shrine.
This covered bridge is one of Hoi An's main attractions. It is locally known as Chua Cau (or the Pagoda Bridge). On the other side of the bridge you will find art shops with paintings of local artists for sale.
