The morning light lays thin over the Perfume River as you push off from Hue and pedal toward Thuy Bieu Village. Paths narrow, rice paddies and areca palms lean close, and the breeze seems to steer you beneath bamboo groves. The guide points out tea shrubs and medicinal plants while the village wakes—chickens crossing lanes, an old ferry bumping against a wooden pier, and the sweet scent of Thanh Tra pomelo drifting from private gardens.
