This old ancient bridge is part of the heritage places that requires entrance ticket, but when I go in the 8pm evening, the ticket collection is closed by then. Inside is very small but had introductions of history of the bridge, spent some time to look at the tablet on the wall, it tells of the person that contributed to building it. Should try take pictures day and also night wink

The Old House Tan Ky in Hoi An has left us with full of impressions... Since generations, generations and still more generations this venerable property, constructed in Fengshui architectural style, has survived, without any harm for the wooden construction, the many frequent floods of the area, so that the actual owners proudly can display their ancestor’s philosophy and culture of dignity, peace and respect...smiley Together with the Japanese Bridge, one of the many “Must See” points of the rich history of Hoi An...


Micaela684 :

Although all the temples are similar, each one has its particular beauty and it is worth spending a while if someone explains you the visit. A great attraction, with a history of more than 300 years where you can see the importance of the heritage of Chinese nation. This in particular is not so spectacular but it is not overcrowded, so you can really enjoy it laugh
