Incense & Conical Hat Villages

Half-day craft village tour

Meet local artisans in two traditional craft villages near Hanoi: Quang Phu Cau, famous for colourful incense, and Chuong Village, home of the conical hat.

Itinerary

1. Morning 07:30 or afternoon 12:00

   Pick-up from your hotel in the Old Quarter or the Opera House area, then a 1.5-hour drive to the craft villages.

2. Quang Phu Cau, an incense-making village with over 100 years of history. Walk through the village, see how incense is made by hand, and visit a family that dyes the sticks — the colourful bundles are a favourite photo spot.
