Japanese Bridge - Hoi An
One of Vietnam's most iconic attractions, Hoi An's Japanese covered bridge dates back to the 18th century and is a beautiful historical piece of Japanese architecture. It is claimed that it was created by the Japanese then living in Hoi An as a way to reach the Chinese quarter across the water.
This woodcut captures the tranquil feeling of the bridge as the pillars reflect in the gently swaying water.
