A short roofed wooden bridge said to have been built in the early 1600s by the town's Japanese merchants. A small shrine is built into one side, which is why locals call it Chua Cau, the 'bridge pagoda', and pairs of stone monkeys and dogs guard either end. It reopened in summer 2024 after a long restoration, so the beams and roof look freshly done. You're across in a few steps; the better view is from the bank opposite, where you get the whole curve of the roof. After dark, when the lights come on, even people who shrugged at it by day pull their phones back out.
