Enjoy a half-day tour that immerses you in the daily life of locals at Thuy Bieu Village, an ancient settlement located along the upstream bank of the Perfume River, just 7 km from Hue city center. This hidden gem showcases the rustic beauty of the Hue countryside, offering a unique glimpse into untouched nature and rich culture.
Begin your adventure by cycling to the Tiger Arena and Long Chau Temple, where you will hear captivating stories about these historical sites, significant during Vietnam’s last feudal era. As you pedal through the serene landscape, take in the lush greenery and listen to the sounds of nature. The journey continues along quiet, tree-lined streets adorned with green bamboo groves, areca trees, and Chinese tea plants. Your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights about the local flora, including various plants, herbs, and vegetables that flourish in the area.
The highlight of the tour is a visit to the garden houses filled with Thanh Tra pomelo, a specialty fruit unique to Hue. Smaller but sweeter than regular pomelos, Thanh Tra pomelo was historically reserved for the Royal Family, making it a true treasure of the region.

Riding through the serene paths of a lesser-known village was a refreshing way to spend an afternoon. I particularly loved passing by the lush gardens and seeing locals engaged in their daily routines, which offered a glimpse into a simple yet vibrant lifestyle. My only hiccup was that the bikes could use a bit more maintenance, but the overall experience made it easy to forget that small detail.
