A visit to this unique Vietnam’s incense village is an absolute must! Hundreds of locals are seen painting and drying bamboo to create incense sticks.
Millions of aromatic incense sticks are dried outside, particularly on the days preceding Lunar New Year (also known as "Tet"), giving it a vibrant red and pink tint.
The village is a great choice for those looking for a genuine and distinctive experience.
Visitors to the incense village will get the chance to learn about the technique of creating incense sticks traditionally and snap a ton of original check-in photographs.
The incense in this village is particularly lovely and exceptional because it is red and yellow, the auspicious colors of the East.

    Visitors to Quang Phu Cau incense village will get the chance to learn about the technique of making incense sticks traditionally and snap a ton of original check-in photographs. It is not difficult to find a great angle for a nice picture. If you finish this village without taking photos, then you haven't gone to this destination at all. Additionally, you also get to know the bustling lifestyle of the locals since you first arrived at the incense village: how villagers make incense sticks for a living, the process of production (Tour guide will explain the manufacturing process of the incense sticks in detail). The incense in this Hanoi incense village is particularly lovely and exceptional because it is red and yellow, the auspicious colors of the East. So many local and international photographers have used this town as a location for photo shoots for many years because it naturally has already a perfect background.

    Vietnamese conical hat or "Non la" has come into casual life not just a part of Vietnam national custom but a cultural trait. For centuries, conical hats have symbolized Vietnamese women, expressing the simple beauty of the country’s femininity. The hats were worn by women everywhere, not only to protect them from the sun and rain but also to enhance their beauty. The most famous place for conical hat making in northern Vietnam is Chuong Village. The craft of making the Vietnamese traditional hat dates back three centuries in the village. Conical hats can be made by Chuong Village’s artisan all year round, but summer is the peak season. Each family prepares lots of raw materials to make thousands of hats. There are many parts to the hat-making process: some families focus on leave making, some on hats, and others on laths. We visit this village, meet the handicraft local artisans and learn how to make the product. Decorate the Vietnamese traditional hats by painting them at your own

    Hanoi Train Street

    Visiting Hanoi Train Street in Hanoi is one of the Best Things To Do to learn and explore Hanoi local life Rather than being a normal road with car or motorbike traffic, it has actual real railway lines running through it. It is so interesting to have a coffee in a cafe next to the train street and see the train passing by. It is a very nice experience Our vehicle and tour guide will drop you of the same morning pickup. End of the trip & Have a good time!
