Coming to Hue City, visitors not only have
the opportunity to visit the cultural and
historical heritages, the land of the ancient
capital; admire the ancient beauty of the relics
and tombs but also visit traditional craft
villages. Among them, Thuy Xuan incense village
with a history of about 700 years is one of the
interesting places. Local people are gradually
turning Thuy Xuan incense village into an
attractive destination, contributing to
preserving the national cultural identity and
developing traditional craft villages associated
with tourism.
Thuy Xuan incense village is located in Thuy
Xuan ward, about 6km from the center of Hue
city, near Tu Duc tomb, Vong Canh hill, so it is
very convenient for tourists to visit. Visiting
the ancient incense village, visitors will have
the opportunity to learn more about the
meticulous and unique process of making incense
by hand, and will also be able to roll the
incense sticks themselves.
As one of the pioneers who combined incense
making and tourism, Ms. Ton Nu Mong Hoa (owner
of O Hoa shop) said: “Previously, there was a
group of foreign tourists who came to visit and
enjoyed the scene of many colorful incense
sticks displayed along the entire route; then
they took pictures, constantly changed clothes
and posed... From there, I came up with the idea
that in addition to making incense, creating a
space for tourists to take pictures is also a
way to increase income. After that, I put the
colorful incense sticks in front of the booth to
make it eye-catching.
Anyone who visited Tu Duc tomb and Vong Canh
hill and saw the beauty stopped by the booth to
take pictures, many people in the village saw
that and followed suit, so now it has created a
unique tourism product, a famous "check-in"
spot, especially for young tourists and those
who work in digital content. When stopping to
take pictures, people also stop by the store to
display products, we sell typical Hue products
such as conical hats, agarwood, paper fans,
handicrafts handicrafts... Sales also increased
thanks to that".
Ms. Ngoc from Hanoi city said: “Before traveling
to Hue, I talked with friends, searched for
information online and found out that Thuy Xuan
incense village is an interesting destination.
The people selling here have a gentle, friendly
Hue accent, ready to tell stories about their
profession and life. I got to personally roll
incense, dip in color and dry the incense.
Thanks to that, I better understand the value of
manual labor and the meticulousness of the
craftsmen. This craft village not only produces
incense, they are also preserving a part of
Hue's cultural identity.”. A
