The Aroma of Ancestry: Inside Hanoi's Enchanting Incense Village | VIETNAM

For a very unique and picturesque experience in Hanoi, visiting Hanoi Incense Village (Quang Phu Cau) is an absolute must.
We recommend going on a sunny weekday and arriving before 10 or 11am to enjoy the little village dedicated to the traditional craft of incense making. We spent about 2 hours in Quang Phu Cau Incense Village.
Catching the local public bus is extremely cost effective and pretty straight forward when accompanied by using Google Maps. You only really need to worry about communicating where you are going to the ticket guy on the bus. You can practice saying the name "Quảng Phú Cầu" as pronounced in our video (it was decent enough for locals to understand us!) or show them the name on Google/Google Maps when they come to collect payment.
🚌 BUS ROUTE 🚌
1) Catch the bus from Bến Xe Yên Nghĩa (Yen Nghia Bus Station)
▸ g.co/kgs/48LmUYx
2) Take bus line 91
3) Be ready at the door to hop off at:
Đối Diện Cửa Hàng Xăng Dầu Quảng Phú - Tỉnh Lộ 429
▸ maps.app.goo.gl/qkZFUcd2M1aN2...
4) Walk around, explore the village on foot
5) When ready to go back to Yen Nghia Bus Station, catch the line 91 bus across the road from where you hopped off:
Gần Cửa Hàng Xăng Dầu Quảng Phú - Tỉnh Lộ 429
▸ maps.app.goo.gl/5gF7H2zFSwx81...
NB: if you plan on taking a Grab taxi to the incense village, you might want to organise for them to wait for you as there may not be many if any Grab taxis to take you back to the city.
The photo "check-in" location spots (as they call them in the village) that we visited in this vlog:

Each are a pretty short walk away from each other and have their own distinctive charm. If you wish to take photos/videos of locals at work along the street, be sure to ask for their permission first.

I didn’t see the platform wobbly or shaking…all I saw were some awesome Oofos 😂. Beautiful setting and great photos! I’ve found, in general, the guys working the tourist spots really have the photos dialed in. Banh cuon!!! Yummmmmmmm…. Great food, great photos, great memories, great day!
