La quema de inciensos es una costumbre cotidiana en muchos países. Por lo general son una varita fina que se consume relativamente rápido. Pero en China me he encontrado con varas de incienso realmente gigantes. Cuestan encenderlas pero la recompensa es que duran una eternidad, o casi :) Se pueden comprar en todos los templos y en sus alrededores. Un dato curiosos por si a alguien se le ocurriera comprarlos como souvenir o para regalar: se consideran un objeto peligroso/inflamable y no se pueden enviar por correo, así que mejor elegir otra cosa :)
Burning incenses is an everyday practice in many countries. They are usually a thin stick consumed relatively quickly. But in China I met with really giant incense sticks. It cost to light them but the reward is that they last forever, or almost :) You can buy them at all the temples and around.
A curious fact about whether someone would buy them as a souvenir or
gift: they are considered a hazardous / flammable object and can not be mailed,
so you better choose something else :)
Nice information about incense sticks. Really these in the photos are giant incense sticks. I can't able to find such big incense in my country (India). Thanks for uploading the photo of these giant sticks.
