Hundreds of locals are seen painting and drying bamboo to create incense sticks. Millions of aromatic incense sticks are dried outside, particularly on the days preceding Lunar New Year (also known as "Tet"), giving it a vibrant red and pink tint. The village is a great choice for those looking for a genuine and distinctive experience. Visitors to the incense village will get the chance to learn about the technique of creating incense sticks traditionally and snap a ton of original check-in photographs. The incense in this village is particularly lovely and exceptional because it is red and yellow, the auspicious colors of the East. Around "Tet" (also known as Lunar New Year), millions of fragrant incense sticks are being dried on the streets, Quang Phu Cau is at its most breathtaking scene for tourists to come by and take absolutely stunning photos. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - Entry ticket included: skip the ticket desk - Min. 11 to book: not for solo travellers - 15 start times: between 06:30 and 13:30 **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €53 per person for the Group Size (11pax - 14pax) option; other options up to €53 - Duration: 6h–7h - Rating: 4.73/5 from 33 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Paradise Indochina Travel - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: English - Tickets: Admission included - Start times: 15 start times between 06:30 and 13:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-21 ## Reviews 4.73 from 33 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 94% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 31 of 33. - 5 stars: 28 (85%) - 4 stars: 3 (9%) - 3 stars: 1 (3%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 1 (3%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Group Size (11pax - 14pax) | €22 / person (for 11+ people) | English | Pickup included | | Group Size (8pax - 10pax) | €25 / person (for 8+ people) | English | Pickup included | | Group Size (5pax - 7pax) | €29 / person (for 5+ people) | English | Pickup included | | Group Size (3pax - 4pax) | €38 / person (for 3+ people) | English | Pickup included | | Group Size 2pax | €53 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Pickup included | ## What's included - All entrance fees to sites - Tea or Egg coffee while waiting the train passing by - English Speaking tour guide - One Bottled water - Private transfer whole trip ## Not included - Gratuities (recommended) - Special noddle soup (with beef or chicken): Extra 3 USD/person ## Itinerary 1. **Hanoi Opera House** (pass by, no stop) - Our tour guide and vehicle will pick you up at your hotels then start the Tour Quang Phu Cau Incense sticks village and Hanoi Train Street.
