Japanese Covered Bridge
Begin your day of sightseeing with the most famous of Hoi An’s attractions – the Japanese Covered Bridge. The original bridge was built in the 1590s by the Japanese to provide a link to the Chinese quarters across the waterway. Construction apparently began in the Year of the Monkey and was completed in the Year of the Dog, hence the monkey and dog sculptures at either end.
