In the five-panel ao dai (ao dai ngu than), Ms. Vo Thi Thuy Duong, a visitor from Quang Tri, said: “The five-panel ao dai is now a “hot trend” among young people, so, when I arrived in Hue, I immediately hired this dress and went to the Citadel to pose for photos. Wearing this ao dai and posing for photos in the heritage space is very suitable, which is both to preserve and promote the nation's traditions. I feel at ease and very comfortable wearing ao dai”.
Ms. Nguyen Y Thao, a female visitor from Hanoi said that she travelled to Hue on the occasion of the March 8, and was allowed to visit the heritages for free. This is a very good policy of Hue. After the very first photos of the ao dai captured in the heritages posted on social networks, many friends and relatives of her paid a compliment on her beautiful photos, which were very impressed. Many of them shared that they would soon go to Hue to have a similar ao dai photo album.
