(Baonghean.vn)- These days, Yen Binh incense village, Hung Dong commune, Vinh city is busy with the Tet holiday. Throughout the village roads and alleys, incense is spread evenly on drying racks, and everywhere you can smell the scent...

| The incense making profession in Yen Binh hamlet (Hung Dong, Vinh city) was formed 20 years ago, starting from 2 households from Nam Dinh with a tradition of making incense who settled here. Up to now, the hamlet has nearly ten households following the profession. |
 |
| The characteristic of incense here is the raw material making stage, because incense makers only use incense roots, cinnamon bark, sugarcane bagasse, without mixing in any chemicals, so the incense has a mild fragrance, is environmentally friendly, and does not affect human health. |
 |
| According to the experience of those who make it, incense must be exposed to enough sunlight to be fragrant. |
 |
| And to keep the incense from getting damp, the packaging and preservation stage is equally important. |

According to Ms. Le Thi Nhung, one of the long-standing households here: "The incense making profession is busy all year round, with the highest consumption on holidays and full moon days. In order to have goods to serve Tet, incense makers must concentrate their human resources and materials and start working from the 7th lunar month. |
