Ever wondered where those fragrant incense sticks come from? 🕯️ Let's journey to Quang Phu Cau, a vibrant village near Hanoi, Vietnam, that's literally glowing with color!
In Quang Phu Cau, making incense isn't just a job—it's a way of life. Workers here bundle and dry incense sticks under the warm sun, creating a stunning sea of red and pink hues that stretch as far as the eye can see. It's a scene straight out of a fairy tale! 🌈
Our friend, photographer Sabina Akter from Bangladesh, captured these breathtaking images. She shared that the process starts by dipping the incense sticks into a scented solution. Then, they're spread out under the sun to dry. Once they're ready, these aromatic sticks are sent all over Vietnam, filling homes and temples with their soothing fragrance.
Visiting Quang Phu Cau is like stepping into a living canvas. The vibrant colors, the friendly locals, and the intoxicating scent of incense make it a must-see destination for any traveler or culture enthusiast. So next time you're in Vietnam, don't miss out on this hidden gem! ✈️
