Upon arrival, you’ll receive a briefing on the village’s history. This informative talk will shed light on the process of growing vegetables and their role in traditional Vietnamese medicine. You’ll explore the vegetable plots and participate with the local farmers in preparing and enriching the soil using lake algae.
