You start before the town wakes, pedals whispering across riverside lanes as the Thu Bon River pushes the morning mist toward the Old Town. Green beds of basil and lettuce scent the air in Tra Que; palms in Cam Thanh lean over narrow canals, their roots probing the water like hands feeling for a current. The day moves with purposeful ease: a short ride into village life, hands-on farming, then the hollow clack of a basket boat cutting through a water coconut grove.
