Pottery craft in Thanh Ha, flourishing in the 16th and 17th centuries, has profoundly impacted Hoi An's history. Thanh Ha bricks and tiles were crucial in shaping Hoi An's ancient architecture. These pottery products are also a distinctive product of Quang Nam, integral to the making of household items. Many skilled artisans of Thanh Ha have influenced the architecture of the royal buildings in Hue.

Beyond pottery-making, the villagers have preserved a rich system of folk knowledge and specialized terminology related to their craft. These cultural values are actively preserved and showcased in the village's tourism activities, allowing visitors to appreciate the traditional craft. Thanh Ha pottery was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2019.

Tra Que is a small village located 3km north of Hoi An’s Old Town. Its location is between De Vong River and Tra Que alga pond. Thanks to the special condition of rich soil and water, the village has long been known for growing many kinds of vegetables: lettuce, salad, houttuynia, flagrant knoutwed, basil and coriander vegetables etc, with which the traditional specialities of Hoi An have gained part of their fame.

It is fascinated by watching the farming procedures of local farmers, including: raking the ground, sowing, watering, picking vegetables and many other activities which are rarely seen in modern daily life. Moreover, tourists can listen to people talking about organic farming techniques and try their hand at actual farming. The farmers don’t use chemical or fertilisers but a kind of algae found only in a lagoon in Tra Que. Thanks to this technique, Tra Que herbs and veggies are widely recognized for their quality, safety and especially outstanding taste and flavour.

It is one of the most popular ecotourism sites in Hoi An City.

It reminds visitors of places in the southwestern area with fresh air, a pervasive green coconut forest and leisurely, peaceful boat rides.

The forest is located in Cam Thanh commune, near Cua Dai Bridge, about 4 km from Hoi An city. The name Bay Mau was given because this nipa palm forest previously had an area of about 7 acres (Bay Mau). Currently, the coconut forest area has been developed to be much larger, yet the name Bay Mau remains.

During the resistance war, the forest area was an important base for the Vietnamese army and people. The lush green coconut trees, stretching across the river, unintentionally became a shield to protect villagers and soldiers during wartime.

Over time, with strong tourism development in Hoi An, the coconut forest has become an attractive eco-tourism destination.

It is said that more than 200 years ago, people brought coconut varieties from the southwestern region of Vietnam to Hoi An
