Walking around this beautiful bridge was a memorable experience. We explored cafes in this area and did last moment shopping . The place has a nice vibe and we loved it. Few vendors sold pop up greetings on the road and we did purchase many. Bridge itself provides a nice background for your pics.

Must visit early morning to see the Japanese Covered Bridge without the crowds! ​Hoi An Old Town is actually more charming in the morning than at night. Visiting early, I found the streets incredibly quiet and peaceful—it was hard to believe it was the same place that gets so crowded in the evening. ​Thanks to the early start, I could take photos of the Japanese Covered Bridge and the surrounding signature yellow buildings without any obstructions. Just strolling through the quiet streets before the shops opened was healing in itself. If you want to escape the tourist crowds and feel the authentic, serene atmosphere of Hoi An, I highly recommend an early morning walk.

A historic bridge, well maintained with a small temple/shrine in the middle. Only thing we didn’t fully understand is it seems to be free for everyone to visit, but we paid for the historic city pass which included this bridge visit. I proactively asked the security there and only then he scanned my pass, all a little confusing. I’d say try to visit first before you buy the pass (of course the pass covers 5 sites in total and not just the Japanese bridge) and then determine whether you need to pay for it or not.

12/24/25. Footbridge with a Temple attached!⛩️ The bridge's temple has ornate decor, including porcelain bowls used to cap the ends of the roof tiles and statues of a monkey and a dog (the monkey god and the dog god are the two gods who control Namazu in Japanese folklore. Chữ Hán can be found throughout the bridge and temple, including "Lai Viễn Kiều" in front of the entrance of the temple. In 1593, Japanese merchants migrated to Hoi Ano and began building a covered bridge to cross a neighborhood canal. They finished construction in 1595 and improved access between the Chinese enclave on the other side. In 1653, Japanese residents built a temple atop the bridge as a way to, according to legend, placate the earthquake-inducing monster Namazu. Must visit Hoi An stop when doing a day tour from Da nang.

It's a nice bridge but don't get your expectations too high! You'll enjoy taking pictures there if it's not too crowded. I think this place is more interesting if you are into historical stuff, the origin of the bridge, architecture, etc. Other that that... It's a bridge!

The rich history of Hoi An is captured beautifully by this landmark bridge and the nearby Chinese temple, but the true charm of old Hoi An lies in the glorious street scene with shops, restaurants and coffee outlets galore, and as far as we could tell they’re all awesome. Each evening the locals put on events like the lantern parade on the river, and the spectacular Hoi An memories show which I personally cannot recommend highly enough.

The best place to visit in Vietnam. Best time to visit is evening and night. Colourful shops, decorated with colorful lantern, river, bridge, boating. Awesome atmosphere.
