Hanoi: Quang phu cau incense village
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.

Hanoi: Tho ha - the rice paper village
Tho Ha village is an ideal location for photography. A place to capture the lovely scenes and the rhythm of life in the Red River Delta.
Tho Ha village lies 1-hour to the North East of Hanoi. It’s a peaceful commune located on the bank of the Cau River. The village retains the traditional architecture with a communal house, temple, a village gate, banyan trees, and a small market. But what makes the village most special is the traditional of making “Banh Da Nem” or rice paper. This is the soul of Spring Roll – one of Vietnam’s must tastes.
On our photography tour to Tho Ha, we will explore these all. We first cross the Cau river by a ferry. Then we walk the villages alleys, and make random visits to households to see the process.
