Discover the idyllic charm and fragrant fields of Tra Que Vegetable Village, an oasis of green located just a few kilometers northeast of Hoi An Ancient Town. This picturesque village is renowned throughout the region for its lush, meticulously tended organic herb and vegetable gardens. For generations, local farmers here have cultivated a wide variety of fresh produce using traditional, sustainable methods, including using nutrient-rich algae harvested from a nearby lagoon instead of chemical fertilizers.

A visit to Tra Que offers a wonderful opportunity to experience authentic Vietnamese rural life. The best way to explore is often by bicycle, allowing you to pedal peacefully along narrow paths between the vibrant green vegetable plots. Observe the local farmers diligently tending their crops – watering, planting, and harvesting herbs like mint, basil, cilantro, and various lettuces that are key ingredients in Hoi An's famous cuisine. The air is often filled with the fresh, aromatic scent of the herbs.

Many visitors enhance their experience by participating in hands-on farming activities, learning from the local farmers how to prepare the soil, plant seeds, or water the gardens using traditional shoulder poles with watering cans. Tra Que is also a popular location for fantastic local cooking classes, where you can learn to make Hoi An specialties using the incredibly fresh herbs and vegetables picked straight from the village gardens. It's a wonderful cultural, eco-tourism, and culinary attraction offering a peaceful and enriching break from Hoi An town.
