Thanh Toan covered bridge, Covered bridge in Thừa Thiên Huế, Vietnam

The wooden bridge spans 17 meters across a canal in Thuy Thanh commune, featuring seven compartments and a traditional tiled roof structure.

Built in 1776 by Tran Thi Dao, a member of the prominent Tran family, the bridge served as a crucial connection point for villagers in the Huong Thuy district.

The bridge incorporates the traditional Vietnamese architectural style of 'upper house, lower bridge,' with wooden benches along its sides for community gatherings.

Located 8 kilometers from Hue city center, the bridge remains accessible through To Huu road and continues to function as a crossing point for local residents.

The bridge houses a shrine dedicated to its founder, Tran Thi Dao, who was later honored with a royal decree by Emperor Khai Dinh in 1925.
