Hop on a bike and start cycling to Tra Que vegetable village. Visit this charming vegetable village and explore local farms, shrimp and fish ponds, and even meet the friendly water buffaloes. Join the farmers in their daily work as you try your hand at traditional methods: loosening the soil, shaping garden beds, planting herbs, and watering vegetables using authentic tools. This hands-on activity offers a true taste of countryside life in Tra Que. After farming, unwind with a soothing herbal foot massage. Enjoy a warm foot soak infused with fresh medicinal herbs picked directly from the Tra Que gardens, followed by a gentle massage that revitalizes your energy. Next, experience making Vietnamese rice paper, a culinary tradition passed down through generations. Learn each step of the process—from soaking the rice and grinding it by hand to spreading the batter and steaming the delicate sheets. Try making your own and taste the result fresh from the stove. Then join a fun and interactive cooking demonstration where you’ll learn how to prepare signature dishes of the region. Guided by a local chef, you’ll cook and enjoy several traditional specialties, using fresh ingredients harvested from the garden.

After lunch, say goodbye to the village and drive from Hoi An to My Son, Vietnam’s most significant and iconic Cham archaeological site. Wandering through the evocative Hindu temple ruins dedicated to Shiva. Once a thriving spiritual center of the Champa Kingdom, My Son is regarded as one of Southeast Asia’s foremost Hindu temple complexes—often compared to Angkor in Cambodia, Ayutthaya in Thailand, and Borobudur in Indonesia. Although parts were damaged during the Vietnam War, many impressive structures remain, offering a powerful glimpse into an ancient civilization.
