Discovering Quang Phu Cau incense-making village

In order to take beautiful photos in the area, tourists should choose sunny days in which to visit the incense village.

As a traditional craft village, Quang Phu Cau village is busy almost all year round. On sunny days, drying incense is one of the main tasks done in the production of incense sticks, with the bouquets of incense being similar to giant flowers under the bright sunlight.

Visitors are able to pay VND50,000 each to snap photos at the village.

The village is definitely a beautiful check-in spot for foreign tourists to enjoy.

Hitomi Fujiyama from Japan shares that she learnt about the place through social network and is excited by the wonderful scenery on offer.

Elíse Huet of France is fond of exploring the scenery and is fascinated by the process of making incense in the village.

Each stage of making incense sticks is a combination of both machines and manual methods.

As a means of serving visitors, villagers arrange the incense sticks into symbols, such as flowers and stars.
