As part of activities of Hue Festival 2024, on the morning of February 1st, at Thuong Bac Park (Tran Hung Dao Street, Hue City), the opening ceremony of the 2nd edition of Yellow Apricot Festival in Hue took place. This festival is organized to honor the distinctive flower species of the ancient capital - the Yellow Apricot of Hue.

According to Hue Monuments Conservation Center, this Lunar New Year, the Tu Phuong Vo Su Pavilion, a cultural destination of the heritage of Hue Ancient Capital, is put back into operation as a stopover for visitors from all over the world, after a period of closure.

For Hoang Dang Khanh, city quarter is not just somewhere to go to and return, and the place of houses to live in; but is also associated with the breath and life, pampering the artist from Hue Ancient Capital with countless emotions.

The first tourists arriving in Hue stepped off at Phu Bai International Airport with radiant smiles with the welcoming gestures from the local tourism industry, signaling positive signs for the smoke-free industry in the ancient capital.

Thousands of people and visitors flocked to the streets to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year. In the cool weather with a vibrant music stage, the Countdown - Happy New Year 2024 art program, with an outdoor stage located at the intersection of Hung Vuong Street, Hue City, lasting from the night of December 31 to the dawn of the new year on January 1, 2024, became a highlight in the heart of the ancient capital.

At 20:00 on December 31, 2023, the Hue Countdown - Happy New Year 2024 program will return at the intersection of Hung Vuong Street, Hue City, promising to bring the most eye-catching and exciting performances to audience of the Ancient Capital. The most anticipated star at this event is rapper Hieuthuhai.

“Despite being newly-established, Hue Museum of Fine Arts, with its status and constant efforts over the years, has contributed to enriching and livening the ancient capital’s artistic life.”

On December 10, the Provincial Department of Tourism coordinated with Hue Monuments Conservation Center and related units to welcome a group of international cruise passengers on the Diamond Princess high-grade cruise to visit Hue ancient capital.

“We love Hue and admire everything related to the Ancient Capital, from its culture, landscapes, nature, people, to its cuisine,” shared the photographers after participating in the inaugural Hue International Photography Festival 2023.
