Overview

If you're looking for something a little different and want to see the real Vietnam then this is for you!

Hanoi may be famous for its charming Old Quarter but let's be honest, it's full of tourists that you're trying to escape right? We're going to be taking you into the countryside of Hanoi and into the small villages that are well-known 'by the locals' for manufacturing the same products within each village.

What to expect

  1. 2h
    We’ll start at the stunning Quảng Phú Cầu village as very recently seen on National Geographic. Incense sticks are lit in temples & local houses everywhere in Vietnam... find out why and take in the beauty of the bamboo sticks laying in the streets to dry.

    Not only that, but we'll take you to the factory that mass produces incense sticks to export around Vietnam and other areas of South East Asia. Bring your cameras because today is going to be a colorful day.

    NOTE: If it does rain then there may not be as many on show outside but no stress... we have a backup ️
  2. Chuong Village
    3h
    Take a break and indulge in what will more than likely be your best meal in Vietnam. Finish up with some local tea (or a beer) before we get hands on

    You’ve seen the locals wearing the traditional cone-shaped leaf hats right? How could you not have? Have a go at weaving a Non-La yourself in Chuong Village.

    From drying the palm leaves in the sun, ironing them (believe it or not), hand stitching the leaves together, and tying on the strap... you'll learn all the steps to making them from start to finish.

    Absolutely no pressure but you'll be able to buy a hat here much more beautiful and cheaper than you can in the City.
