Tra Nhieu, a peaceful village in central Vietnam

TuoiTreNews.vn - Tra Nhieu village in the central Vietnamese province of Quang Nam used to be a well-known commercial port. Now, it has become an attractive, ideal eco tourism destination for travelers.

The village, located along the Thu Bon River, seems to be more crowded in early summer as people tend to spend their free time at a windy, cool place.

Besides walking from the My Son Sanctuary through Nam Phuoc Town, tourists can choose another way to go to the village, which is taking a 3km, 15-minute boat trip from Hoi An Ancient Town along the Thu Bon River.

Tra Nhieu looks pristine, even deserted, from afar, but it turns into a crowded, ideal place to visit when approached.

One of the special traits that the village first impresses tourists with is the forest of nipa palm, a species of palm which has proliferated thanks to the area’s saline waters. It creates a 10-hectare green, thick “wall” which surrounds and protects Tra Nhieu Village.

The forest houses numerous types of valuable seafood, especially shrimp, crabs, oysters and snails, not to mention its romantic, peaceful, and Vietnamese traditional landscape.

Travelers who come to Tra Nhieu Village should also experience the “nha vuon,” a type of house surrounded by areca palm trees, where they can take a nap on a hammock, feel the cool air, and look at the wide blue sky.
