Head to the charming Quang Phu Cau Incense Village Tour, a visual delight for photography enthusiasts. Immerse yourself in the rich history of this centuries-old craft and engage in enriching conversations with locals to learn more about the evolution of their trade.

Next, continue your journey to the Phùng Xá Silk Workshop (Search on Google Map: Cty Dâu Tằm Tơ Mỹ Đức. Mrs. Thuan's Mobile: 0962004939), located on the banks of the Dây River in the Mỹ Đức area of Hanoi. There, the owner, Mrs. Phan Thi Thuận, will introduce you to her silk worm breeding and reveal the fascinating steps of silk production.

Mrs. Phan Thị Thuận was born into a family with a four-generation tradition in the weaving industry. Since the age of 6, she has helped her family pick mulberries, raise silkworms, and there has not been a day when she has strayed from silk-related activities and weaving.

She is the first person to have studied silk weaving from the lotus cocoon.

Notably, Mrs. Thuan's house still preserves numerous ancient looms dating back nearly 100 years.

At the end of the tour, return to your centrally located hotel in Hanoi.
