Welcome to my third year of keeping a photo journal, where I add a photo each week of the Chinese Zodiac Year. Links to my previous journals for the Year of the Tiger and the Year of the Rabbit are below on the right.
Why have I used a Welsh Dragon on my banner? Well, our family is more than half Welsh - Mike is Welsh and grew up in South Wales, and my paternal Grandfather was Welsh, although he moved to Australia as a child. I like the amalgamation of our Welsh heritage with our current life in China.

Week 26 - Japanese Covered Bridge


The Japanese Covered Bridge is the entrance to the old town in Hoi An and was built in 1593 to link the trading communities on each side of the river.  In the 18th Century a small temple was added into the northern part of the bridge.  The entrances on each side the bridge are guarded by a pair of dogs on one side and a pair of monkeys at the other end.  It is a pretty little bridge and looks gorgeous all lit up at night!
