More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pedal out of Hoi An on a flat ribbon of road, the river’s breeze pushing alongside you as the town’s roofs fall away and the green of Tra Que rises ahead. The village smells of wet earth and cut herbs; farmers move with practiced rhythm, seaweed-streaked hands coaxing beds of mint, basil and coriander. For half a day you become part of that rhythm—turning soil, carrying seaweed, and learning the precise, low-tech methods that keep these beds chemical-free.
