Tra Que Vegetable Village – A Tranquil Green Getaway in Hoi An

Located between the ancient town of Hoi An and the stunning An Bang Beach, Tra Que Vegetable Village offers travelers a refreshing glimpse into Vietnam’s rural charm. Known for its lush vegetable gardens and eco-friendly farming methods, Tra Que is not just a place to visit – it’s an experience to live.

What Makes Tra Que So Special?

Unlike modern farms that rely on chemicals, Tra Que’s farmers use traditional, organic methods passed down for generations. The village sits on rich soil nourished by a unique source: natural algae from the De Vong River, which gives the vegetables their distinctive flavor and aroma. This makes Tra Que herbs essential ingredients in many of Hoi An’s iconic dishes like cao lau, mi Quang, and banh xeo.

Walking through the village, you’ll see endless rows of vibrant green herbs—mint, coriander, lettuce, and more—carefully tended by hand. The scenery is not just beautiful, it’s peaceful, filled with the sounds of birds, soft breezes, and the gentle rhythm of village life.

Top Things to Do in Tra Que Vegetable Village

🌱 Join a Farming Experience

Don a traditional conical hat and get your hands dirty with a real-life farming session! You’ll learn how to prepare the soil, plant seeds, water crops using bamboo buckets, and even harvest the fresh produce—all under the guidance of local farmers.

🍳 Take a Cooking Class

After harvesting your own vegetables, join a local cooking class where you’ll learn to make popular Vietnamese dishes. From fresh spring rolls to savory pancakes, your meal will be packed with flavor—and the pride of making it yourself.

🚲 Enjoy a Scenic Bicycle Ride

The best way to explore Tra Que is by bicycle. Ride along the village paths surrounded by fields of greens, pass by water buffalo grazing, and take in views of the river and rice paddies. It’s calm, photogenic, and perfect for slow travel.

🛀 Relax with a Traditional Herbal Foot Bath

Many local families offer herbal foot soaks using plants grown in their gardens. After a day of farming or cycling, this simple treat is surprisingly soothing and revitalizing.

Best Time to Visit

The village is open year-round, but the ideal time to visit is in the early morning (7–9 AM) or late afternoon (3–5 PM) when the sun is softer and farmers are working in the fields. Visit during February to April for the greenest scenery and most comfortable weather.
