• Tra Que Vegetable Village in Hoi An: The ultimate “green” trip

In contrast to the hustle and bustle of downtown Hoi An, Tra Que Vegetable Village attracts tourists with its peacefulness, relaxation and 'healing'. 

Located in Cam Ha Commune, about 3 km from Hoi An Ancient Town, next to the Co Co River. The village used to have the name of Nhu Que since it grew a variety of types of green herbs such as lettuce, salad, houttuynia, flagrant knotweed, basil.... The local households use this over-40-hectare area to implement crop rotation and intercropping with more than 20 types of leafy vegetables and spices for nearly 400 years. Recently, Tra Que Vegetable Village in Quang Nam, Viet Nam, has been recognised as a Best Tourism Village 2024 by UN Tourism.
