BEST Day Trip HOI AN, Vietnam - TRA QUE VILLAGE Organic Farm - Bicycle Tour
On our final day of the Flying the Nest Expedition, we left the town of Hoi An, Vietnam and headed out to the countryside on a bicycle tour! We visited the Tra Que Village where we were able to witness their farming practices first hand, then we used some of the fresh ingredients in a cooking demonstration! So Fun, Best day trip!!! Then we explored more of Hoi An and tried their signature dish, Cao Lau! Our favorite dish in Vietnam!!! Yum!
We are so excited that we were able to explore Vietnam with an amazing Australian couple, Stephen and Jess from Flying the Nest. That's right! Stephen and Jess arranged their very 1st Flying the Nest Expedition and we were lucky enough to snag a couple spots and tag along! If you aren't familiar with Flying the Nest, then you ABSOLUTELY MUST check them out on Youtube and Instagram! They are quite amazing! And we were so lucky and grateful to share this experience with them!

Vietnamese Countryside Tour & Vietnamese Meal at Tra Que Herb Village Water Wheel Hoi An, Vietnam
We've thoroughly enjoyed spending most of our days exploring Ancient Hoi An; however, when we had a chance to bike out to the Vietnamese countryside to visit Tra Que Village for dinner at restaurant noted for its water wheel, we couldn't pass on the opportunity. One of the main highlights of being based in Hoi An are all of the nearby attractions and places worth visiting, such as farmland, small communities and several beaches. Tra Que is a quaint little village situated only 2 kilometers from the Ancient part of Hoi An city. It is famed for producing rich soil praised for its abilities to grow fresh herbs. Many tourists end up staying overnight in this village to experience the lifestyle of a rural farming community.

Given that it was a decent distance from our guest house, we decided to hop on our bicycles and head over to the community before sunset. As we pedaled along, we noticed the transition from commercial areas to farmland was very abrupt and we marveled at the Vietnamese farmers wearing conical hats tending their crops. Finally, after getting lost a few times, we pulled up to Tra Que Herb Village Water Wheel restaurant.
Walking down a path that was in between crops we eventually approached the large water wheel noticing its rustic charms.
Before we sat down to eat traditional Vietnamese cuisine we had the opportunity to actually operate the large water wheel by climbing up a set of stairs, sitting down and pedaling with our feet. It was such a thrill getting to actually set the behemoth rustic wheel in motion.
The meal itself featured some of our favorite dishes including Vietnamese country pancakes and papaya salad along with a new dish we'd never tried before - three friends.
The service was excellent as our hosts we both gracious and ever welcoming. We kicked ourselves for not coming here sooner because we certainly would have frequented this restaurant on more than one occasion.
The meal itself was a knockout; it was literally the best food we've had since arriving in Vietnam.
What made the dishes so appealing were the fresh ingredients being used from the farm along with excellent cooking technique which included very scant use of cooking oil.
Every bite was packed with an explosion of flavors and we appreciated that all of the ingredients were fresh from the organic garden. This is how food ought to prepared everywhere.
After finishing the generous portions offered to us, we bicycled back into Hoi An while experiencing a gorgeous sunset. Overall, this was an experience we'll never forget and if we're back in Hoi An again we plan on making it a part of our daily routine. Thus, we highly recommend you check out the countryside area of Tra Que:
Chúng tôi đã rất thích triệt để dành phần lớn ngày của chúng tôi khám phá cổ Hội An, tuy nhiên, khi chúng tôi đã có một cơ hội để chiếc xe đạp ra về nông thôn Việt Nam thăm Trà Quế Làng ăn tối tại nhà hàng nổi tiếng với bánh xe nước của nó, chúng ta có thể không vượt qua trên cơ hội.
Một trong những điểm nổi bật chính được đặt tại Hội An là tất cả những điểm thu hút gần đó và những nơi giá trị tham quan, chẳng hạn như đất nông nghiệp, các cộng đồng nhỏ và một số bãi biển. Trà Quế là một ngôi làng nhỏ cổ kính nằm chỉ 2 km từ phần cổ Hội An. Nó nổi tiếng với sản xuất đất giàu khen ngợi cho khả năng của mình để phát triển các loại thảo mộc tươi. Nhiều khách du lịch kết thúc ở lại qua đêm trong làng này để trải nghiệm lối sống của một cộng đồng nông nghiệp nông thôn.

Tra Que village – A must see tourist spot in Vietnam’s Hoi An
Tra Que Vegetable Village in Hoi An, Central Vietnam, is well-known among tourists as an example of sustainable tourism. Tourists are often fascinated with the conventional farming system there. Paphamon Arayasukawat has the details.
A Day in Tra Que Vegetable Village Hoi An, Vietnam

Tra Que Herb Village Hoi An, Vietnam
Da uns Hoi An tagsüber zu voll geworden ist, haben wir uns Fahrräder geliehen und sind einfach mal losgefahren. In Hoi An selbst macht dies eher weniger Spa, doch schon nach 10 Minuten befindet man sich in ruhigen Reisfeldern.
Die Tour zur Tra Que Herb Village hat uns sehr gefallen. Die ganze Zeit über waren wir komplett für uns und wir konnten gemütlich hin unserem Tempo radeln.
Im Herb Village angekommen wurden wir super nett begrüßt und wir erfrischten uns erstmal mit sehr leckerem vietnamesischem Essen und einem Ginger Tea. Der nette Guide zeigte uns noch ein paar Sorten von dem Gemüse und Kräuter, die typischerweise in der vietnamesischen Küche benutzt werden.
Danach machten wir uns noch für einen kleinen Spaziergang auf zum Strand. Der hat uns nur so Mittel gefallen. Irgendwie schön aber teils sehr hässlich. Aber den Sonnenuntergang mit der Drohne zu bestaunen hat das wieder wettgemacht.
Zurück in Hoi An haben wir uns ein bisschen durch das Street Food gegessen und meine Drohne bei Nacht fliegen lassen.
Since Hoi An got too crowded during the day, we rented bicycles and just drove off. In Hoi An itself this is less fun, but after 10 minutes you are in quiet rice fields.
We enjoyed the tour to the Tra Que Herb Village. The whole time we were completely for ourselves and we could comfortably cycle our pace.
Arrived at the Herb Village, we were greeted very nice and we refreshed ourselves first with delicious Vietnamese food and a Ginger Tea. The nice guide showed us a few varieties of the vegetables and herbs that are typically used in Vietnamese cuisine.
Then we went to the beach for a little walk. He only liked us so much. Somehow beautiful but partly very ugly. But marveling at the sunset with the drone made up for it.
Back in Hoi An, we ate through the street food and let my drone fly at night.

Tra Que is a small farming community located about 2 kilometers northeast of Hoi An.
It’s an easy bicycle ride and a quite scenic one which involves pedaling past rice fields, glassy rivers, and lazy water buffaloes lounging in the mud.

Yes, for a day you can join one of the local farmers and get a feel of what it is like to work the land – water the crops, fertilize the land with seaweed from the nearby lake, pick up a hoe and get your hands muddy. What better way to get an insight into the local way of life?
Learn to cook.
Tra Que Herb Village opened its own restaurant Waterwheel just a few months ago and it is already getting rave reviews. The family behind this restaurant is not only skilled in the cooking department, but they are also passionate about sharing their local recipes and techniques.

Hoi An, Vietnam | Cham Island snorkelling tour, An Bang beach | Vietnam Travel
After visiting the city of Da Nang we hopped on our motor bikes and road to the ancient town of Hoi An, Vietnam.
We arrived in the evening and we were greeted by our Airbnb host in town who then guided us to our super cute rental home.
There is so much to see, and do and eat in Hoi An. We spent our days riding around on motor bikes checking out local areas such as the old quarter of Hoi An along the river. This area is packed full of restaurants and shops of every kind. It's a must-see near the Japanese bridge. Hundreds of lanterns fill every corner. There is so much incredible food choices. We spend a bit of time each day at the beautiful beach called An Bang beach. We explored the rice fields on bikes at Tra Que vegetable village between the town and An Bang beach where all the local vegetables come from. We went on a Basket Boat tour in the Coconut Forest. And spent the day at sea on a Cham Islands Snorkelling Day Tour.
We highly recommend visit this wonderful place.
Next up we visit Ho Chi Minh City , (commonly known as Saigon). Stay tuned!
