Hoi An Ancient Town, Vietnam | Chùa Cầu Bridge: A Century-Old Covered Bridge Where Japanese and Vietnamese Cultures Meet, Quietly Preserving the Ancient City's Prosperity and Transcendence Among the many landmarks of Hoi An Ancient Town, the Chùa Cầu Bridge (Chùa Cầu) stands out. Built in the early 17th century by Japanese immigrants, this wooden bridge is also known as the "Japanese Bridge." It serves not only as a bridge for transportation but also as a symbol of cultural exchange. The bridge is constructed of solid wood and bluestone, with a tiled roof and intricate carvings along its sides. Inside, a porch enshrines the Bac Tai, the God of War, praying for good weather and safe journeys. Walking across the bridge, one feels the weight of history, as if every plank bears the footprints and stories of merchants and travelers. At dusk, lanterns are lit, and the Chùa Cầu Bridge's silhouette is reflected on the river, like a scene frozen in time. Quietly spanning the stream of the ancient town, it has witnessed centuries of prosperity and transformation in Hoi An.

Hoi An Ancient Town, Vietnam | Evening Stroll: Encounter the Gentleness of the Ancient City in the Lights of the Alleys As dusk falls, stepping into Hoi An Ancient Town, the atmosphere begins to transform. The bustle of the day gradually fades, and the streets are bathed in golden and orange hues by the setting sun. The ancient walls and mottled wooden windows appear particularly charming in this soft light and shadow. The ancient town is perfect for a stroll at this time. Pedestrians slow their pace, chatting outside lantern-draped shops or strolling quietly along the Thu Bon River. The light of the newly lit lanterns reflects on the river, and a gentle breeze caresses your face, making even time seem to slow down. A stroll in Hoi An is more than just a part of travel; it's a kind of solace. You can capture the street lights with your eyes and feel the centuries-old atmosphere of this ancient city with your heart.
