Tour plan

Incense plays an important role in the Vietnamese spiritual life as it is used in temples, pagodas, shrines and other worshipping places.

Quang Phu Cau has long been one of the largest incense stick makers in Vietnam. Each stick is the end of a long process, from cutting bamboo shoots to splitting them into smaller rods, then sticks. Red is often the color of the dye, as it represents luck and happiness.

What makes it truly photogenic is when these sticks are dried. Since they’re tied in bundles, the workers would then stand and spread each bundle to make sure the sticks get dried more quickly. Numerous bundles are laid in the yard, each shapes like an umbrella.

    Diese Tour zum Räucherstäbchen Dorf ist wirklich etwas besonderes und wird ausschließlich über Tinny Travel angeboten. Wir besuchten eine private Familie und tranken Tee mit ihnen. Die Lackkunst und Hutmalerei sind ein Teil der Tour und machen wirklich Spass. Das Essen bei der Familie war fantastisch. Alles in allem ein wunderbarer Ausflug. Mein persönliches Highlight waren die Räucherstäbchen. Auf dem Weg dorthin, kann man die Einheimischen beim Arbeiten beobachten. Sehr empfehlenswert. Danke nochmal, dass ihr die Tour gemacht habt, obwohl wir nur zu zweit waren. Das ist nicht selbstverständlich in Vietnam.

    Amazing experience visiting 3 different villages. Our tour guide, Tinny, was an awesome guide and really went all out showing us parts of Hanoi I would have never seen on my own. Highly recommend!

    What a FANTASTIC experience! We ventured out into the countryside, south of Hanoi, and visited three craftwork villages. We saw (and experienced!) the process of making incense, the building of bamboo birdcages and the making of the iconic Vietnamese conical hat. Our host, Mr. Tinny, is such a lovely person, and He was instrumental in making our experience truly memorable. I should also note that Mrs. Thanh, the artisan who makes the conical hats, threw down such an incredible spread for lunch. It was, without question, the most amazing meal we’ve had in Vietnam over the last two weeks - and that’s saying something because all of our dining experiences have been wonderful. If you visit Hanoi, do yourself a favor and book this experience… Without a doubt, it will be the highlight of your trip!
