Scenting lotus tea right on the lake

Taking place at Tinh Tam Lake, Phu Xuan Ward, Hue Lotus Festival 2026 aims to honor traditional cultural values associated with Hue lotus flowers, while also creating a new space for community exchange, diversifying tourism products, and enhancing Hue’s appeal as a destination for both local and international tourists.

Drawing inspiration from the royal lotus flowers, a symbol deeply rooted in Hue’s court culture, the theme “Ngu Lien Thuc Thuy” is a journey that awakens the beauty of lotus flowers on Tinh Tam Lake, one of Hue’s most iconic landscapes and a place closely intertwined with the history of Hue Ancient Capital. 

Hue Lotus Festival 2026 will offer residents and visitors a wide range of engaging experiences, including workshops on traditional lotus tea scenting and tea tasting with artisans; hands-on experience on making Thanh Tien paper lotus flowers and lotus essential oils; spaces for artistic check-in with lotus flowers amid Tinh Tam Lake; stalls showcasing local specialties, handicrafts and lotus-inspired souvenirs, and the “Thuc Thuy show”, a unique arts and culinary program that combines music, lighting effects and lotus-based dishes prepared by renowned chefs…

Hue Lotus Festival 2026 goes beyond a festive activity; it offers tourists a space to enjoy Hue’s cultural depth through artistic activities, cuisine, handicrafts, and the elegant beauty of Hue people.
