International Tourists Experience Farming in Quang Nam's Festival
The festival is held on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to pray for peace and good harvests.
In addition to traditional ceremonies such as parades, offering to the goddesses, lion and dragon dance, many competitions relating to agricultural production were held. International tourists were excited to try working as farmers. They learned to hoe soil, grow vegetables, and cook dishes made from Tra Que vegetables.

In early January 2024, Cam Chau commune also organized an agricultural festival. Though it was held in unfavorable weather, international tourists were eager to join the locals to scoop water with shoulder buckets, plow with buffalo, and grow rice.
In 2022, the Tra Que vegetable growing profession was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage.
