Japanese Covered Bridge (Chùa Cầu)

Hoi An, ~30 km (about 45 min) from central Da Nang. A covered bridge on the western edge of the old town and Hoi An's symbol — it's on the 20,000-dong note. Per the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism, it's the only covered bridge in the world with a Buddhist temple inside. Entry is with the old-town ticket: you can pick the bridge as your «iconic» site instead of Quan Cong Temple (Da Nang tourism portal, 2026). The sources don't give entry hours — ask at the ticket booth. We don't publish ticket prices.
