You start on two wheels, pedaling out of Hoi An as rice paddies flatten into a patchwork of green and water. Dusty village lanes open onto low canals where water buffalo graze and farmers bend to the soil; the air carries the sharp, clean scent of lemongrass and pandan. By mid-morning, Tra Que’s kitchen gardens feel alive—raised beds, aromatic herbs, and a chorus of small birds.
