The old house serves as the perfect backdrop for capturing images that tell the story of a once thriving industry. This tour is a must-visit for any photographer looking to preserve a piece of history and capture the essence of Vietnamese culture. Don’t miss this chance to document a craft on the brink of extinction and bring your lens to life in Hung Yen. Soy sauce plays an important role in Vietnamese cuisine & it is a must-have flavor for many Vietnamese dishes. And when it comes to this, probably nowhere else in Vietnam can soya sauce be generated with such high quality and rich flavor as in Ban Yen Nhan village, Hung Yen province. The tradition has been passed down from generation to generation and still continues to thrive these days. From Ban village, soy sauce makes way to all families throughout Vietnam and it’s not hard to find it in a supermarket in any other country where there are the Vietnamese. Discover the essence of Vietnamese culinary heritage at Ban Yen Nhan Soy Sauce Village, just a short 25km journey from Hanoi. This charming village is renowned for its traditional soy sauce making, offering visitors a glimpse into techniques passed down through generations. Learn about the meticulous process of making Ban soy sauce, a specialty of the village. Despite the rapid development and the emergence of new dishes, Ban Yen Nhan soy sauce remains an indispensable condiment on the dining table of many households in rural Northern Vietnam. The ingredients for making Ban soy sauce include three main components: rice, salt, and soybeans. Although these ingredients are simple and easy to find, the cooking process is meticulous. The two-century-old Cao village in the northern province of Hung Yen is one of the largest incense making villages in Vietnam. For many local traders in the village, the trade was passed down from generations to generations. Cao village incense with medicinal ingredients has a natural smell and is safe for users.
