Tra Que Vegetable Village
Làng rau Trà Quế
A 300-year-old organic herb-growing village outside Hoi An, where visitors can try farming, buffalo riding and cooking classes.
Tra Que lies between Hoi An and An Bang Beach. It has been growing vegetables for more than 300 years, and it is famous for fertilising its fields with river algae, which gives its herbs excellent flavour. Much of the coriander used in the old town's restaurants comes from here. You can cycle through the rice paddies to reach the village. Activities include a half-day farming experience, where you turn the soil, water the plants and plant vegetables while wearing a conical hat, as well as a foot massage and a Vietnamese cooking class. Prices run about 300,000 to 500,000 VND. Entry to the village is free, but please walk along the field bunds and do not step on the vegetable beds. The village is often combined with An Bang Beach on a half-day cycling route.
