via Vietnam Plus, 02 October 2021: Hoi An’s iconic Japanese bridge to be restored.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has agreed with restoration plans for Chua Cau, including reinforcing the foundations and pier and renovating the floor, wooden frames, roof, and electrical and lighting systems.
It also approved the digitisation of the relic with 3D technology to serve restoration later on.
Chua Cau, also known as the Japanese Covered Bridge or Lai Vien Kieu, consists of a bridge over a small canal and a pagoda at one end. It was built in the early 17th century by Japanese businessmen.
