Start your adventure riding a bicycle to a local farm in Tra Que village. Here you will have a brief introduction to the history as well as the many stages of planting vegetables and see the different kinds and uses of vegetables for medicinal purposes. You will then take a trip around the vegetable garden and join the farmers in preparing the land and fertilizing it with seaweed from the local lake. Continue raking the ground, sowing, watering greens, transplanting and tending greens. The local farmer will teach you how to protect developing vegetables from the insects.
Then kick back and relax by soaking your feet in a mixture of local herbal remedies and Chinese traditional medicine. You will then help to prepare lunch with a local family where you will learn how to make “Tam Huu” spring roll and “Xeo” pancake where after you will get to enjoy the delicacies you prepared. After the lunch, you will finish your farming experience by learning how to harvest and wrap the vegetables.
