The Covered Bridge, also known as the Japanese bridge, is a national historical and cultural relic located at the contiguous position of Nguyen Thi Minh Khai and Tran Phu streets - Hoi An, a work built by Japanese merchants. Trading in Hoi An was built around the beginning of the 17th century. Covered bridge pagoda with quite unique architecture, in the middle is a bridge-style passageway, on both sides there is a narrow corridor, used as a place for trade and relaxation. The main side of the bridge overlooks the romantic Hoai River. The bridge pagoda is the place to worship the Bac De god Tran Vo - a god associated with the function of water treatment, bringing a peaceful life, favorable rain and wind for the resident communities. The pagoda and bridge are made of wood, painted and carved with many elaborate and harmonious motifs. At the two ends of the bridge there are two pairs of wooden statues, one end is a dog statue, the other end is a monkey statue. In 1719, on a pilgrimage to Hoi An, Lord Nguyen Phuc Chu bestowed three words "Lai Vien Kieu" with the implication that it is a prayer to welcome guests from afar, which is still solemnly placed at the entrance of the temple today.
Experiencing the ups and downs of time, the work still retains its great value in architecture, culture, and history, showing the connection between the Vietnamese-Japanese-Chinese communities in the ancient trade port of Hoi An. Currently, Covered Bridge is officially chosen as a symbol of the city and an indispensable attraction of any visitor when coming to Hoi An ancient town.
