It is the Huong River, the river that "embraces Hue in its heart", which is also a priceless gift that nature has dedicated to this place. The Huong River is magnificent from the upstream, with a peaceful beauty and full of poetry as it confluences and hugs around gardens and villages such as Kim Long, Nguyet Bieu, Vy Da, Gia Hoi, Bao Vinh, and Sinh village, etc. And then, before pouring water into the sea, the downstream river area is a place to make a living, which is hard but close and dear to the locals.

Just a stone’s throw from the Citadel, the Gia Hoi old quarter used to be one of the busiest areas of Hue ancient capital in early 19th century. This invaluable heritage is being ruined day by day with time while how to conserve and promote it is still a big question.

In addition to the highlights of special art programs, rich food stalls, and the eventful boat race 9, etc., “The country’s fair in the festival” (Chợ quê ngày hội) responding to Hue Festival 2022 also made attraction from the games during the festival days.

An art show called "Khai xuân chợ quê ngày hội". (Spring Opening of the Country’s Fair and Festival) took place at Thanh Toan Farm Tools Gallery, of the Thanh Toan tile-roofed bridge community tourist attraction (Thuy Thanh commune - Huong Thuy town) on the night of February 21.
