This is an interesting way of discovering Hoi An traditional values – a tour called “one day in the life of an old town resident”. It is a delightful and very affordable way to spend the day and learn about the food and culture of the area. The guests don palm-leaf conical hats, go to the fields to hoe land, plant vegetable, water crops and accomplish various other duties. After fulfilling their job, they go to a small kiosk near the field to taste Vietnamese cuisine made of Tra Que vegetable and other specialties. “It was a truly unique experience learning about soil management, crop rotation, fertilizing and the management of pests. The variety of herbs and vegetables was amazing.”

Incredible day touring the market and herb village.The cultivation of herbs and vegetables is so painstaking in the heat and being done by hand whilst squatting and bending is an achievement in itself. So lush and green and is like a patchwork quilt and well-worth a visit.
