Hoi An Half Day Tour: Wet Rice Growing – Riding Buffalo And Plowing Farm At Cam Thanh

Hoi An half-day tour will be the best choice if you do have not much time. Vietnam is one of the biggest countries for wet rice farming cultivation. Traveling to Hoi An, tourists should try how hard it is. The farmer has to wake up from 1:00 or 2:00 am to farm. The best friend of the farmer is the buffalo, it helps the farmer plow soil and make soil for new crops.

It is a labor-intensive process that requires hard work and dedication from farmers. Despite the challenges, wet rice growing is an important cultural tradition that has been passed down for generations, and tourists can now experience it firsthand through Hoi An daily tours like the ones offered in Hoi An.

Many tourists are happy to participate in the Cam Thanh Eco Tour with wet rice growing, making friends with the buffalo, and learning how to grow rice. From these activities, tourists will understand the hardship of farmers. Participating in the wet rice growing tour, tourists will experience meaningful farming valuable works
