Tra Que Vegetable Village is Vietnam’s sole representative to receive the 2024 “World’s Best Tourist Village” award by announced on Nov. 15.
Located 3 kilometers from Hoi An ancient town, Tra Que Village dates back to the 16th century and is bordered by the Co Co River and Tra Que Lagoon. Its river-island location near the sea provides a temperate climate and fertile soil, making it ideal for organic vegetable farming.
In the past, vegetable gardens were scattered between houses, and the fields were uneven due to the practice of digging ponds for irrigation.
Over 20 years ago, the government started developing eco-tourism model in Tra Que. As part of this effort, houses were relocated, ponds were filled to create square vegetable fields, and flat roads were constructed to improve accessibility.
