Japanese Covered Bridge

Description

Hoi An's Japanese Covered Bridge is one of Vietnam's most iconic attractions, and is one of the top attractions in the city. Located in the Old Town, this historical landmark dates back to the 18th century and was constructed to link the Japanese community with the Chinese quarters located across the water. This well preserved bridge has original Japanese designs and even features a roof, which means it can be visited no matter what the weather. On both entrances of the bridge, visitors will come across weathered statues of a pair of monkeys and a pair of dogs. While crossing the bridge tourists will see a variety of beautiful paintings for sale, done by artists living nearby. Standing as a symbol of Hoi An, the Japanese Covered Bridge still remains aesthetically pleasing and will prove to be a fantastic location to get some great pictures.

Prayer Facilities

Since the city of Hoi An does not have any mosques, Muslim tourists will not be able to find any prayer facilities in its Old Town. Muslims visiting the area will therefore either have to find a secluded place outdoors to offer their prayers, or they will have to pray in their hotel rooms.

Halal Food

While Muslims visiting Hoi An will not be able to find any Halal restaurants in the city, they will definitely be able to find a number of restaurants and stalls serving a variety of delicious vegetarian and seafood dishes. Hoi An’s Old Town is known to house a number of great restaurants and cafés. Muslim tourists visiting the Japanese Covered Bridge can therefore wander around and pick a restaurant that suits their tastes.
