Description
The Japanese Covered Bridge located in Hoi An was constructed sometimes in the early 1600s. It is generally considered the most famous Japanese Bridge in Vietnam - if not in all of Southeast Asia.
Hoi An was an important international trading port in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries and was used by Chinese, Dutch, Portuguese, Indian, and Japanese merchants.
Persian and Arab documents from around the 10th century mention Hoi An as a provisioning stop for trading ships.
Hoi An was replaced as a major trading port in the late 19th century by Danang. Hoi An is a UNESCO World Heritage site (Sources: Lonely Planet, Vietnam, 1995; Wikipedia).
A troupe of Japanese Sword Fighters are performing in front of the bridge.
