On the morning of July 3, hundreds of people wearing the traditional ao-dai took part in the “Ao Dai Connecting Tourism and Heritage” event, held at the forecourt of Quoc Tu Giam historical site of Hue Imperial Citadel (on 23 Thang 8 St., Phu Xuan Ward).

The Quoc Tu Giam heritage site is currently being dismantled as part of a large-scale conservation and restoration project with a total budget of more than 108 billion VND.

Kicking off Hue Ao Dai Week 2026, scheduled to take place from July 3 to 10, is the event “Ao dai Connecting Tourism and Heritage”, which will be held on the morning of July 3 at the Quoc Tu Giam area.

It was a stroll through images and fond memories of Quoc Tu Giam (Imperial Academy) - a relic of the Nguyen Dynasty nestled in the heart of Hue Ancient Capital. The site is expected to undergo restoration this November, with a total investment of over 108 billion VND.

More than 32,000 artifacts from the Thua Thien Hue History Museum are being meticulously transferred from Quoc Tu Giam, or the Imperial Academy, to a new facility at 268 Dien Bien Phu Street, Hue City.

On the morning of September 28th, at Quoc Tu Giam historical site, the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue Province organized a ceremony to commend students who achieved the title of “Honored student of the school” for the 2023-2024 academic year. This is the fifth year the Provincial People's Committee implemented this meaningful program.
