Summary

[edit]
Description The first structure you see as you cross the pedestrian bridge into the Hoi An town old quarter is the Japanese Bridge. This elegant Bridge has become the iconic symbol of Hoi An and it survives the thousands of tourists that cross it each day, a testament to its very solid construction. Built in the 1590s by the Japanese community, who played a key role during this era in developing the town’s architecture and infrastructure, the bridge also holds a shrine to Tran Vo Bac De, the Taoist deity of storms and weather. It’s guarded by a statue of a monkey and a dog at either end of the bridge. During daylight hours you’ll be asked to give your UNESCO ticket to enter the bridge but don’t unless you intend to enter the underwhelming shrine within, as crossing the bridge itself is free. That's what a website said, but a guard checked our ticket anyway, although we did not exactly enter the actual temple inside. (Hoi An, Central Vietnam, Nov. 2016)
