Located in the south west of Hue city, Thuy Bieu today is the merger of two villages, namely Nguyet Bieu and Luong Quan. When it comes to Thuy Bieu, Hue locals will suddenly miss the taste of the juicy fruit called "Thanh tra" (a type of pomelo).
No one knows when Thanh tra appeared and whether this tasty fruit is from Thuy Bieu or other localities. Yet, this autumn fruit is an irreplaceable part in villagers' meals and Mid-autumn festival. For Thuy Bieu locals, Thanh tra is more than a signature fruit. It is said that they live and breath in Thanh tra. Perhaps, Thanh tra not only brings villagers a distinctive flavor, but also improves their living standard.
Thanh tra season usually falls in the seventh lunar month
