OVERVIEW

Quang Phu Cau incense village is vibrant with color and action. Of course, red is the primary hue on display, against a classical village backdrop. But the workshops and drying yards around also offer a fascinating insight into this century-old tradition, and its part in the fabric of daily life. You’ll capture authentic and eye-catching images of our local friends at work and play, with the bright red incense bunches a recurring motif.

Next stop is Chuong Village. The traditional village is regarded as the oldest conical hat craft village in Northern Vietnam as local villagers have preserved the craft for more than three centuries.

The last but definitely not the least interesting place is Ha Thai lacquer village. You will have a chance to observe and learn the quintessence of artwork from the local artisans as we are visiting some of the largest family scale factory in the village.
