Tra Que herb village, ranked as No.1 of Hoi An attractions on TripAdvisor for 4 years (2008-2012), is a little charming village lying 4km from Hoi An, providing the whole Old quarter with vegetable. These vegetables not only make the Pho Hoi‘s meals more sweet with different flavour but also make Hoi An‘ specialities such as Cao Lau, Quang Noodle more memorable. If you come here, you can also enjoy the cooking class conducted by the host with local “Tam Huu” spring-roll which is primarily made from Tra Que vegetables or pancake with meat “Banh xeo” which is made with the enlivenment.
