The tour culminates with a visit to the village's largest incense factory. Here, you'll get an in-depth look at the entire incense-making process, from raw materials to finished products, and gain insights into the lives of rural workers.

Our journey concludes with a return to Hanoi. You'll have the option to be dropped off at the famous Train Street or another location of your choice.
