About
Quick facts: An impressive quarter of Hoi An's vegetables come from here, nurtured by a unique blend of seaweed and fish sauce to enrich the soil naturally. Local farmers use age-old, chemical-free methods that craft vibrant, flavorful herbs and greens.
Highlights: A fascinating sight is the nightly ritual where villagers sing traditional songs while watering the crops, turning farming into a heartfelt celebration. The charming division of the village into distinct garden plots, each cared for carefully by families, mirrors the community spirit and ancient agricultural heritage.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and sun protection as paths are earthy and shade is limited.
- Bring a camera for colorful shots of lush gardens and locals in traditional attire.
- Skip rainy season visits as flooding can disrupt garden paths and activities.
- Try to visit on weekdays to avoid crowds and have more personal interactions with the farmers.
