Half-day tour from Hue - The ancient painting crafts of Sinh Village and the Thuy Xuan incense village

Explore the rich cultural heritage of Sinh Village, also known as Lai An Village, renowned for its traditional folk painting industry. This charming village serves as a cultural hub, where ancient woodblock printing crafts are preserved. These artworks are not merely decorative; they also fulfill spiritual needs, often used in ceremonies to invoke peace and blessings.

Our journey continues to Truc Chi Gallery, a unique space dedicated to bamboo paper artistry. This gallery showcases stunning artworks that reflect the essence of Hue's artistic traditions. It stands as a testament to the innovative spirit of local artists, blending traditional techniques with modern design to create captivating pieces.

Next, we will visit the incense village, where skilled artisans preserve the time-honored craft of incense-making, an integral part of Vietnamese culture. You will witness the meticulous process of selecting natural ingredients like cinnamon, cardamom, and grapefruit peel, which are combined to create the fragrant incense.

Finally, you will have the chance to make your own Bai Tho palm-leaf conical hat, a quintessential symbol of Vietnamese identity. This immersive experience will deepen your appreciation for the artistry and traditions that define this enchanting region.
