Once following a friend of mine to Hoi An (Quang Nam province), I was quite impressed with the communal house of Cam Thanh commune. From outside, the building has a bold characteristic of the image of a Vietnamese village with a row of upright areca palm trees. In particular, the structure of sturdy wooden columns and bamboo frames, and available natural materials make visitors feel close to their homeland.

From August 31 to September 3, Ho Chi Minh Museum in Thua Thien Hue organized the exhibition “Ho Chi Minh – The Portrait of a man” at No.7 Le Loi Street, Hue City.

The “Photo exhibition of the images of Ao dai featured on postage stamps” will take place from August 27 to September 2 at Kodo Café (No. 36 – 38 Nguyen Phuc Nguyen, Huong Long Ward, Hue City) on the occasion of Vietnam Stamp Day (August 27).

Many localities in the province are actively organizing photo contests and making video clips to promote Hue’s tourism and introduce its beautiful images of Hue culture, civilized lifestyle, environmental landscapes, and friendly Hue people who warmly welcome visitors and friends from both domestic and international destinations.

The People's Committee of Hue City has just launched a news and art photo contest with the theme "Hue - A friendly land", with the aims to propagate and promote beautiful images of culture, civilized lifestyle, landscape, environment and people of Hue, who are friendly and hospitable, to domestic and international visitors and friends.

The memory of Ao dai in me is simply the image of my mother wearing an Ao dai, in a rush carrying a basket in one hand and hastily putting on a gray Ao dai with the other, getting ready to go to the market. And so, over time, the elegance of the Ao dai worn by Hue’s women, with its flowing silhouette, naturally became a part of me.

Hue has recently organized a number of sporting events, demonstrating its effectiveness in the field of tourism.

The images exhibited are emotive works that are expected to arouse the public’s recollections, especially the Buddhist followers, of the past lessons, so that they would strive to reinforce and further enhance Buddhism's teachings and values. The exhibition is open to the public until June 7th.

Inherently being called a regal flower associated with the image of the Nguyen Dynasty in Hue, the annual blooming season of Firmiana simplex (also known as Chinese parasol) flowers is in late March and April, creating picturesque images in the space of Hue Imperial Citadel.

The event is held in Hue with an aim to contribute to stimulating local tourism and promoting the image of the people and landscapes of Hue City to international friends so as to develop the local economy.
