Highlights
  • Hanoi Opera House - Our tour guide and car will pick you up at your hotels then start the Day Tour Quang Phu Cau Incense sticks village and Hanoi Train Street.

  • Quảng Phú Cầu - Visitors to Quang Phu Cau incense village will get the chance to learn about the technique of making incense sticks traditionally and snap a ton of original check-in photographs. It is not difficult to find a great angle for a nice picture. If you finish this village without taking photos, then you haven’t gone to this destination at all. Additionally, you also get to know the bustling lifestyle of the locals since you first arrived at the incense village: how villagers make incense sticks for a living, the process of production (Tour guide will explain the manufacturing process of the incense sticks in detail).
    The incense in this Hanoi incense village is particularly lovely and exceptional because it is red and yellow, the auspicious colors of the East. So many local and international photographers have used this town as a location for photo shoots for many years because it naturally has already a perfect background.

  • Train Street - Visiting Hanoi Train Street in Hanoi is one of the Best Things To Do to learn and explore Hanoi local life Rather than being a normal road with car or motorbike traffic, it has actual real railway lines running through it. Homes and businesses literally open out onto the railway lines. For the most part, the locals who live and move through there go about their day as with any other Hanoi street. Motorbikes zoom up and down the side of the railway lines. Local ladies cook delicious smelling foods, crouched over their seasoned cooking pots and surrounded by bundles of herbs and other fresh ingredients. Kids run around, crossing the tracks to each other’s houses. Animals snooze peacefully in the daytime sun.

  • Pho 10 Ly Quoc Su - After wonderful experiences, our guide will take you to a small, clean, famous restaurant in Hanoi Old Quarter for delicious food called Pho (Rice noodle soup with Beef/Chicken).Then enjoy some traditional coffee before coming back to where you stay.

  • Hanoi Opera House - Our vehicle and tour guide will drop you of the same morning pickup. End of the trip & Have a good time!

Vibrant Color - Quang Phu Cau's small display of incense bundles set out to dry in lovely designs is bursting with color. The red and magenta bundles are especially breathtaking. One of the women who sets up the bundles was a ray of joy, smiling and posing for pictures while she worked and with us. We got to see how bamboo is cut into size, how the incense is affixed to the sticks, and the multitude of warehouses storing bundles of bamboo soon to be turned into incense sticks. The drive from Hanoi is one hour each way, through countryside. My friend and I chose a private tour, so it was only us in the car with the guide and driver, enabling us to go at our own pace.

Tour experience - We had an amazing experience with this trip. Our tour guide was funy, informative. The incensevillage was impressive, a great place to have photos (make sure to check the weather to have tour. It should be dry weather, NO rain). The train street is also a unique experience. I really recommend this tour.

So beautiful and interesting! - So beautiful and interesting. It's a memorable experience when you wake up early in the morning and buy the most colorful flowers. There are thousands of flowers for your choice. It's hard to bargain in a wholesale market except you buy a large quantity.
