Since its building, Chua Cau has remained deeply and unchangeably in the sub conscience of Hoian people thanks to its sole uniqueness. Consisting of two different structures, a pagoda (actually more a shrine than a pagoda) and a covered bridge, the monument spans a litle stream.

Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese contributed to building Chua Cau and the monument therefore reflects the friendship and communication of these peoples once coexisting in peace at Hoian commercial port town.

Built at different times by Hoian talented workmen, Chua Cau retains a harmony of architectural styles, combining Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese cultural characteristics.

More than 400 years have passed and the covered bridge has always been a good shelter for passers by escaping from the rain and heat. Generation after generation have paced its floor and the God of Bac De together with the sacred Monkeys and the Heavenly Dogs have always warmly welcomed everybody, even those visiting Chua Cau for the first time.
