The ancient Japanese Bridge - taken from An Hoi island across the river.
This bridge was built in the 1590’s to connect the Japanese community with the Chinese quarters across the stream. About 40 years after the Hoi An Japanese Bridge was constructed, the Japanese were demanded by the Tokugawa Shogunate to return home to Japan under order of Sakoku - officially closing Japan to the rest of the world.
