Despite having a thin workforce with increasingly older age groups, Hue’s young artists continue to make their mark on Vietnam's artistic map. In an interview with Hue Today Weekly, artist Nguyen Thien Duc, Chairman of Hue City Fine Arts Association, shared his views on the current situation, potential, and expectations for the next generation of Hue’s fine arts scene.

In 2020, when male officials and civil servants of the Department of Culture and Sports wore ao dai during working days and the weekly flag-raising ceremony, it immediately sparked controversy online. Then, it was not just the cultural sector, at important events, the provincial leaders (now Hue City) and intellectuals also began wearing ao dai. The appearance of the traditional ao dai for both men and women at cultural and educational events made the ceremonies more solemn, elegant, and impressive.

The People's Committee of Hue City has approved the organization of the first race designed to explore the city’s cultural heritage - “Hue Heritage Trail 2025”. This is a highlight event within the framework of Hue’s 2025 Wellness Tourism Week and responding to the 2025 National Tourism Year.
