The “rendezvous” through art took place in late April and extended throughout May, with a brief yet comprehensive name: “Loving Hue.”

Without fanfare or grand stages, artists, artisans, and skilled craftspeople are quietly passing on and preserving traditional crafts in the ancient capital. They are the “extended arms” for the journey of preserving intangible cultural heritage and Hue’s historical monuments.

“Vong Sinh Tu” (The Cycle of Life and Death) is a metaphysical watchtower. The artist becomes a witness to the haunting figures and fragments that emerge from nothingness, from sediments, within the cycle of life and death, the calling of sentient beings...

On the afternoon of May 5, the fine art exhibition “Gathering in May” opened at Song Huong Magazine office.

With appealing flavors and unique artistic designs, entremet cakes (a type of dessert originating from France) have gained great attraction and are especially loved by young people, particularly on meaningful celebratory occasions.

Thousands of unique works of bonsais, orchids, and artistic ornamental stones, along with the finest crafts and traditional cultural beauty have gathered at Hue Imperial Citadel, creating a vibrant exhibition space in the heart of the heritage site.

On the afternoon of April 25, the Culture, Information and Sports Center of Thuan Hoa District, in collaboration with Hue City branch of Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists, organized the opening ceremony of a photo exhibition themed “Hue - A city bursting out with vitality”.

From April 26 to May 2nd, the Imperial Citadel will become the center of a series of special cultural - artistic activities with the theme “The Imperial Citadel shines, the royal flowers converge”, promising to attract thousands of tourist arrivals during the April 30 - May 1st holidays.

Although she has chosen a reclusive life on the edge of Thien An forest (Hue City), just as the saying goes, “good wine needs no bush,” many international tourists visiting Hue have asked travel companies to take them to meet People’s Artisan Hoang Thi Nhu Huy so that they can converse with her and gain a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture.

Many art lovers spent an afternoon immersed in the fine art exhibition space with the theme “Loving Hue”, which was just opened on the afternoon of April 19 on the 4th floor of the Song Centre building (Ba Trieu Street, Thuan Hoa District).
