Tra Que is not just a brand name for the village’s fragrant and high quality herbs, but it is also an attractive destination for tourists staying in Hoi An. 

A tour of the organic vegetable and herb gardens can include some time working in the fields if you like, watering and hoeing vegetable beds, or merely enjoying the peace and tranquility and marvelling at the glorious sunsets.
