Beyond the old brick walls of Thanh Dong, a pioneering organic village where “green living” is not just a trend, but a cherished tradition that encourages travelers to reconnect with the earth through responsible and soulful experiences.
As tourism in 2026 shifts toward meaningful connections, Thanh Dong Organic Vegetables Village in Hoi An Dong Ward, Danang City, has become a symbol of sustainability. Here, the traditional rural landscape has been carefully transformed into a “living classroom” of ecology.
Unlike traditional sightseeing, Thanh Dong provides an in-depth experience of the “market in the garden” concept—a creative project where agriculture blends with storytelling. In this peaceful setting, rustic farming tools are displayed as cultural relics, and each organic garden acts as a stage where farmers share the story of the soil, water, and the genuine kindness woven into their work.
The village’s spirit is rooted in its commitment to responsible tourism. Currently, 11 dedicated households grow more than 20 varieties of spices and vegetables under the strict “Hoi An Organic” certification. This is more than just farming; it’s a movement to protect the local ecosystem and enhance community livelihoods. Visitors are invited to join the daily routines of the fields, gaining a deep understanding of the fragile balance between humans and nature. By emphasizing long-term environmental health over mass commercialization, Thanh Dong offers a sanctuary for those seeking “clean” and “mindful” travel.
International travel experts have praised this suburban treasure as a key pillar for the region’s future. It demonstrates that indigenous culture and traditional crafts, when combined with modern sustainability practices, can develop world-class destinations. As the sun sets over the lively green rows of vegetables, Thanh Dong stands as a symbol of a greener future – a place where the past is valued, the present is lived genuinely, and the land’s future is protected for generations of mindful travelers.
