About this audio guide
This guide to Thuy Bieu, a riverside orchard village just south of Hue, follows the story behind its prized thanh tra pomelo. It traces the fruit back to a boat trip on the Perfume River taken by a seventeenth-century Nguyen lord, and to the farming families of Luong Quan and Nguyet Bieu who grew it for him. You will also hear about the centuries-old tribute tradition that followed, and pass the village's unfenced orchards and timber garden houses along the way.
