Have you ever wondered why Vietnamese incense sticks are always pink or red?
It’s actually very simple: in Vietnamese culture, pink and red are colors of luck, warmth, and good wishes. When people burn incense, they want to send respect to their ancestors and hope for good things - so these bright colors make the meaning feel even more special.
But the most beautiful part?
Just about one hour from Hanoi, there’s a small craft village where local artisans turn incense into real artwork.
They arrange thousands of colorful incense bundles like flowers, creating a scene that you can’t find anywhere else. Walking into the village feels like stepping into a giant painting.
If you love discovering local culture, taking photos, or just enjoying something peaceful and authentic, come explore this village with me.
It’s a simple place - but full of beauty, tradition, and stories worth hearing.
