Chua Cau – The Japanese Covered Bridge
Consisting of two different structures, a pagoda (actually more a shrine than a pagoda) and a covered bridge, the monument spans a litle stream. Built at different times by Hoian talented workmen, Chua Cau retains a harmony of architectural styles, combining Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese cultural characteristics. The two entrances of the bridge are guarded by a pair of dogs on one side and monkeys on the other.
