Rural experiences draw foreign tourists to central Vietnam

VOV.VN - More and more foreign tourists are visiting Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Quang Tri province, central Vietnam, to experience rural life firsthand, including feeding ducks, riding buffaloes, and fishing alongside locals.

Covering 1.3 hectares in Bong Lai village, Duck Farm offers nature lovers a playful experience: visitors sit as ducks swarm their legs to peck at scattered rice during the so-called “duck massage.”

Visitors place the ducklings on their hands or feet to feed them.

Duck Farm offers an authentic rural experience including taking care of buffaloes.

Feeding and observing the ducks is a favourite activity, letting tourists experience their quirky behaviours up close.

Tran Quoc Hoan, owner of Duck Farm Phong Nha, has trained a flock of ducks to serve tourists.

Two British tourists enjoy holding the ducks in their arms. Apart from offering picturesque views, the farm helps to enhance tourists' travel experience and memorable moments.

Tim from Britain enjoys the unique duck massage service. The sensation of being surrounded and massaged by many ducks helps tourists relax, making it a highlight of their trip.

Ducks are trained from a young age, so they are quite friendly to people.

Tourists also enjoy going fishing at the farm, providing them a deeper connection to the local culture.

The experience at the farm lasts approximately two hours, and the ticket price is VND120,000 per person.
