Red Bridge



Hoi An, the UNESCO World Heritage Site in central Vietnam is one of the truly great places to get married in the world!

The former harbour town of the Cham at the estuary of the Thu Bồn River was an important Vietnamese trading centre in the 16th and 17th centuries, where Chinese from various provinces as well as Japanese, Dutch and Indians settled. During this period of the China trade, the town was called Hai Pho (Seaside Town) in Vietnamese. Originally, Hai Pho was a divided town with the Japanese settlement across the "Japanese Bridge"(16th-17th century). The bridge (Chùa cầu) is a unique covered structure built by the Japanese, the only known covered bridge with a Buddhist pagoda attached to one side.

As well as the Old Town on the river and the palm tree fringed beaches, Hoi An's secret spot for a wedding is  half way between the two at The Red Bridge Villa and Restaurant. A popular spot with a certain Rock Star, the secluded restaurant on the river is split into two areas (for ceremony and reception) by their famous red bridge.
