The Tra Que Vegetable Village, located in Cam Ha Commune, Hoi An City, Quang Nam Province, was founded in the 16th century by migrants from the North of Dai Viet (Great Viet).
The village is well-known as the freshest and cleanest herb and vegetable supplier in the ancient city.
For many years, the venue has become a ‘must-visit’ destination for visitors, especially foreigners, to the ancient town of Hoi An.
In April 2022, Tra Que vegetable farming was officially recognised as a Viet Nam's intangible cultural heritage.
Let’s look back some amazing photos about the village which are captured by our freelance photographer Khanh Linh.

Hundreds of households in the small village specialise in growing vegetables. Farmers in the village do not use manure or chemical fertilizers in the plant growing process. |
Farmer Thu Nhan, 60, said she was the fourth generation working as a vegetable grower in Tra Que Vegetable Village. She added the vegetable growing job was hard, but if you work hard, you can have stable income. |
The village has some 40ha of fertile land, sustaining more than 40 different kinds of vegetables. |
