Meet a family who specializes in dyeing incense sticks and take in the colorful bundles of incense. See the next level of incense production with a tour of a nearby factory. Learn how incense is made from scratch and more about the lives of manual workers. Take home memories of your visit with incense souvenirs from the place they’re produced before returning to Hanoi. Next, head to Chuong Conical Hat Village, a village that has been well-known for the craft of conical hat-making for over 300 years. Observe how conical hats are made and decorate a hat by painting it, then bring it home as a souvenir. Finally, visit Da Sy Village and a knife-making workshop. Immerse yourself in the craft of blacksmithing in Da Sy, a village that is a living testament to history. For centuries, artisans here have forged tools for farmers in peace and weapons for freedom in times of war. Step into the blacksmith’s world as sparks fly and steel glows red-hot. Under expert guidance, hammer raw steel into the blade’s shape. Learn grinding and polishing techniques to refine your blade. Carve and attach a wooden handle that’s crafted to fit perfectly in your hand. Feel the heat of the forge, the satisfaction of shaping steel, and the pride of holding a tool you created with your own hands.
