The Village of Incense Sticks

In Vietnam, an entire village is dedicated to the production of magical incense sticks. Quang Phu Cau in northern Vietnam has become a popular tourist destination for its incense stick production.

Quang Phu Cau is located south of the Vietnamese capital Hanoi. A special spectacle is when the tens of thousands of incense sticks produced in the village are brought out to dry in the morning. Families living and working in Quang Phu Cau's "incense village" now also make sticks in yellow, blue and green, attracting visitors eager to take pictures.

Incense and incense sticks are primarily used in spiritual or shamanic practices and religious ceremonies. They play a central role in Hinduism and Buddhism./ DW
