“Just one rain in Hue makes it be winter” is how Minh Tu, the journalist, borrowed the ancients to describe Hue rain in the long-running series titled “The awaited rains” in Tuoi Tre newspaper. It could also because the rains always bring a sense of melancholy to Hue, even the rains in the middle of summer days.

"The road in Hue so long, and the shadows of people so far away..."

Despite of the onset of rainy season, when tourists are no longer rushing to seek tourist destinations, Thua Thien Hue is proactively attracting tourists in the last months with numerous winter tourism activities and products in Hue.

One rainy day in Hue, I received an elaborate and impressive design for artist Dang Mau Tuu’s upcoming painting exhibition in Hanoi. It is surprising because he recently had an exhibition “Aotearoa - a region of white clouds” at Hue Museum of Fine Arts in June 2023, after he had just returned from New Zealand. Four months later, he continued with his own exhibition titled “Specks of dust in life” in Hanoi with 20 works painted on acrylic. This is Dang Mau Tuu’s first solo exhibition in Hanoi.

At 3 a.m. athletes competing in the 42km marathon of the VnExpress Marathon Imperial Hue 2023 officially started under light rain.

After a series of cold rainy days, Hue gets dry, being fresh and sunny. Hue is coming in mist season. Unlike many northern provinces, the mist in Hue is just enough to make the dawn rising a little bit later, but it is still poetic and beautiful.

In Hue, the Christmas season usually occurs on the coldest days of the year. While the cold is always accompanied by rain, the cold and wet of the rainy season in Hue just become more shimmering and fanciful, as the Christmas lights in the churches are brightly lit up in every corner of the city.

Anyone who has been to Hue has felt that the weather in Hue is as erratic as a girl. However, the sound of rain still holds memories, bringing deep emotions to people's hearts.
