As a land with historical traditions and cultural depth dating back many centuries, Hue is an important political, economic, cultural and artistic center of the country, and has now expanded its area four times, from 70.67 km2 to 265.99 km2, with 29 wards and 7 communes.

This December 2023, the Regional Container Lines (RCL) from Thailand opened an international container shipping route to Chan May port.
