Cam Thanh - Guests can experience wet rice farming firsthand, just like local farmers do daily. First, they take buffaloes to plough the fields, breaking the mud into smaller pieces. Participants will learn commands to direct the buffaloes, such as ‘Di’ for right and ‘Tha’ for left. It’s fascinating to see how well the buffaloes respond to these commands. Next, traditional farming tools like harrows, hoes, and ploughs are used to balance and soften the mud. Guests will then learn how to plant baby rice in the wet mud, ensuring each plant is evenly spaced. Afterward, they can ride on the back of a buffalo for a 15-minute journey through dikes and streams, guided by local farmers. Finally, guests will learn how to care for the buffaloes by feeding them green grass, which is a delightful experience.
