What makes this experience unique?
Tra Que is not only famous for its aromatic herbs that give Hoi An its distinctive flavor, but it also preserves the agricultural lifestyle of the local people. Having been involved with the vegetable village for over 13 years, the Tra Que Water Wheel is the brainchild of Ms. Thuong and her husband. Visiting here is not just about touring the village, taking photos, or observing from the sidelines. It's about experiencing the real life of the Tra Que farmers, directly interacting with them, tilling the soil, planting vegetables, watering with bamboo buckets, cooking, and gathering around a traditional meal. For Ms. Thuong, this is the best way for visitors to truly experience and feel the local culture.
What you'll get to experience with us
At Tra Que, you will transform into a Hoi An farmer, experiencing familiar tasks such as plowing the land, growing vegetables, and watering with bamboo pipes - seemingly simple activities but full of joy and deep connection with nature. Moreover, you can participate in traditional cooking classes, preparing signature dishes like pancakes, spring rolls, under the attentive guidance of the local team. The journey concludes with an herbal foot soak to relax, helping the body recover after an outdoor experience. This is not just a destination, but also a place to live slowly - to live authentically, feeling the simple and pure beauty of Hoi An countryside.
