QUAN PHU CAU (VIETNAM)

For anyone who loves photography, a visit to Quang Phu Cau Village, in Vietnam, also known as incense village, is an absolute must. 
About 35 kilometers from the center of Hanoi, the village is situated in Quang Phu Cau commune, Ung Hoa district, and it is home to several incense factories.
Visitors can witness hundreds of workers painting and drying bamboo to make incense sticks. Especially during the days leading up to Lunar New Year (also known as “Tet”), the village takes on a lively red and pink hue as millions of fragrant incense sticks are dried outdoors.
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.
