Thanh Toan Tile-roofed Bridge
Cầu ngói Thanh Toàn
An 18th-century countryside covered bridge, with a timber tiled roof spanning a small stream amid rice fields. It is a good place to experience rural life in Hue.
Thanh Toan Tile-roofed Bridge was built in 1776. It is a timber covered bridge funded by a woman surnamed Tran, and it is about 17 metres long. There are offering tables and wooden benches for resting on the bridge. Its style is similar to the Japanese Covered Bridge in Hoi An, but it is more rustic. Next to the bridge is an exhibition hall of farm tools, and the paths through the fields are ideal for cycling. Admission is free. Getting there: the bridge is about 8 km east of the city centre, roughly a 40-minute bike ride, and it is often included in countryside cycling tours.
