Every year, Quang Phu Cau village, adorned with thousands of incense sticks drying outdoors, attracts a diverse array of tourists from around the world. Sarah Vanmalderghim, a Belgian tourist, said the site reflects a perfect combination of traditional craftsmanship, while Catherine Caro from the Philippines was delighted by the place’s beauty and colors.

The program showed that local incense sticks were traditionally in red and pink. To please visitors and cater to Instagram trends, additional ones like yellow, green, and leafy green have been introduced. Tourists need to pay around 2 EUR to access designated "photo-hunting" areas, with elevated observation points already in place to serve them.

The channel rounded off its program by underscoring the significance of this traditional craft village, where bamboo sticks are an indispensable part of the local culture.
