Just a few kilometers from downtown Tam Kỳ, Cà Ban village emerges as a beloved destination for eco-conscious travelers, offering a genuine and rustic experience.
Embark on a soulful journey in the tranquil Cà Ban eco-village of Quảng Nam
Legend has it that centuries ago, after a devastating flood, villagers encountered a middle-aged woman carrying a burden on her shoulders, seeking shelter to build a small makeshift home near the riverbank. Over time, she became fondly known as Auntie Cà Ban, befriending the young buffalo herders on the floodplains. They never asked her name, simply calling her Auntie Cà Ban, a name that eventually resonated throughout the village.
After a fierce autumn rainstorm in 1864, Auntie Cà Ban vanished without a trace, leaving behind a legacy of protection and prosperity for the villagers. They erected a shrine in her honor, believing she watches over them, ensuring bountiful harvests and a prosperous life. Thus, the origin of the name Cà Ban village was born.
Nestled along the serene and picturesque Tam Kỳ riverbank, Cà Ban boasts lush orchards brimming with fruits all year round, attracting visitors from near and far to Quảng Nam. The village streets are lined with beautifully landscaped gardens, traditional gates, shady paths, and tea houses. The vegetable gardens, pumpkin patches, and pumpkin trellises laden with fruit also draw a considerable number of tourists from both within and outside the city for sightseeing and enjoyment.
Cà Ban harnesses the fertility of its rich soil to cultivate vibrant vegetable gardens and orchards, embracing the allure of the Tam Kỳ river with banyan trees, water docks, communal halls, and beautiful gardens to entice travelers. Moreover, the warm gazes, genuine smiles, and hospitality of the villagers always welcome visitors to enjoy the rustic charm of their homes, savor garden-fresh produce, and listen to tales of the village's founding days, the vast bee caves, the mysterious tunnels, and the paths of the resistance fighters.
For those seeking eco-friendly community tourism experiences, Cà Ban village in Quảng Nam province emerges as a refreshing destination. A tranquil countryside adorned with fruitful seasons, just a stone's throw away from the city, offers an experience worth indulging in when visiting this coastal region of Central Vietnam!
