Unable to rely solely on love for the craft or pride in the past, Hue’s craft villages must step beyond traditional pathways toward a new journey: Transforming production thinking, applying technology, embracing green transition, elevating quality, and telling cultural stories in more modern ways.

Without noise and haste, the journey invites travelers to lose themselves in the timeless, contemplative, and poetic beauty of Hue along the Huong River. In recent years, this experience has been reimaged with touches of elegance: afternoon tea at sunset, dinner under the stars, and the lingering notes of traditional Hue Singings.

Alongside provinces, cities, and ministries across the country, Hue City participated in the National Achievements “80 years of the journey of Independence - Freedom - Happiness” themed exhibition held in Hanoi, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day (September 2nd).
