Relaxation of the body, mind and soul is a hot topic these days. Eating healthy is a must, and one should not neglect what one breathes in and out. "Chen Xiang" (agarwood) is a kind of high-grade incense made from wood that was buried underground for several thousands of years in Vietnam. The natural scent that it emits cannot be compared to any synthetic aromas. Although its calming, cleansing, stress-relieving protection from evil-spirit properties cannot be proven, this shop generously allows customers to come experience these heavenly fragrances. You can also find other less expensive incenses, such as Hui An and Qi Nan. In addition, there are intricate wood carvings, porcelain ware, antiques and other precious works of art available for appreciation.
