KHANH HOA – THE AGARWOOD CAPITAL AND THE ESSENCE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH

Khanh Hoa is one of the few regions in Vietnam known for producing the most precious agarwood. It is proudly known as the “agarwood capital” of Vietnam-a land that preserves and nurtures a priceless treasure from nature.

Deeply rooted in the legend of the Cham people about the goddess Ponagar-the Mother of the Land and a symbol of happiness and prosperity-Khanh Hoa glows under her divine protection. The sacred fragrance of agarwood is believed to be ever-present in her radiance, set amidst the majestic mountains, seas, and skies of Nha Trang-one of the most beautiful bays in the world. The essence of this land is also immortalized in a traditional folk verse:

“ Khánh Hòa là xứ trầm hương
Non cao biển rộng, người thương đi về
Yến sào mang đậm tình quê
Sông sâu đá tạc lời thề nước non ”

Located in a uniquely favorable geological region where warm and cold ocean currents meet, Khanh Hoa is blessed with rare natural gifts such as agarwood and bird’s nest. This is why Khanh Hoa Agarwood is so renowned throughout Vietnam and internationally. Agarwood and bird’s nest have become symbols of the refined spirit and loyalty of the people of Khanh Hoa. Both are known for their health benefits, and their use whether in crafting or consumption requires not only expertise but a sense of delicate artistry. To enjoy the true fragrance of agarwood is to possess one of nature’s finest essences-a creation to be cherished and honored.

Agarwood has long been considered a rare and valuable gift of nature, carrying not only economic value but also deep cultural and spiritual significance. It is not the name of a tree species, but rather a term for a special part of the Aquilaria tree (Dó bầu in Vietnamese).

When the Aquilaria tree is wounded, it secretes a healing resin. Over the course of decades or even centuries, this resin seeps into the wood fibers. The resulting mixture of resin and wood becomes what we call agarwood. The more resin the tree produces, the darker and rarer the agarwood becomes-a testament to resilience and strength, mirroring the enduring spirit of the land and its people. Even through hardship or loss, they never surrender. This unyielding will is the soul and strength of the Vietnamese people.
