The village creates a red fragrance.

This appears to be the largest incense factory in the commune. It is undoubtedly the site of the stunning photos you've seen on social media, guidebooks, or travel magazines. It is not just a simple factory, but a complete tourist/photo attraction with a semi-permanent exhibition of incense sticks in various colors. Here you can see Vietnam's yellow star on a red field like the national flag, Vietnam's outline or 'map', and lotus flowers. They remind me of art installations. Surrounding the art installations are authentic incense sticks in various stages of completion and drying in the factory's outdoor 'courtyard'. Four balconies overlook the courtyard, resembling scaffolding, allowing photographers to shoot the courtyard and take interesting photos. When I arrived at 8:30 AM, the workers were well into their shift, and they told me the factory opens at 07:00 and had already dried a significant amount of incense. Three hours later, at 11:30 AM, the courtyard was almost full. If your goal is to take photos of the workers, this is an early morning project. For selfies and family photos, any time is fine, but on a sunny summer day, I still plan to arrive earlier rather than later. This is definitely not a trip for a rainy day. The factory entrance fee is 50,000 VND. If you search on Google Maps, you will find that there are several other factories/showrooms with similar displays and the same 50,000 VND entrance fee. You do not need a tour or tour guide to visit the village's factory. This affordable outing can be easily accomplished by budget, independent, DIY travelers. Located 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Hanoi's Old Quarter in the Ung Hoa district, this commune is accessible by car, motorcycle, taxi, rental car, Grab, or public transport. To get to the commune by public transport, take the metro Line 2A between Cat Linh and Yên Nghĩa stations and bus number 91 running between Yên Nghĩa and Quang Phu Cau.
