On the morning of September 18, Hue City Union of Literature and Arts Associations held an inauguration ceremony for Hue Literature and Arts Memorial Space at No.1 Phan Boi Chau St., Hue City.

On the afternoon of September 17, the Union of Literature and Arts Associations of Hue City inaugurated a literary and artistic space and a performance program to celebrate its 80th anniversary (September 18, 1945 - September 18, 2025).

After over 2 weeks taking place in Hanoi, the exhibition on the country’s achievements with the theme “the 80-year journey to Independence - Freedom - Happiness” has officially closed. The organizing committee honored and awarded the title of “Typical Display Space” to the display space of Hue City.

Organizing STEAM educational experiences for students; a warm art night dedicated to mothers; a journey carrying books to a remote village; and a discussion with young people about French architecture, etc., these activities gave August a warm start at Hue Book and Culture Space - a cultural meeting place that, despite being new, has become a cherished part of Hue.

Alongside preservation of palaces and temples, the heritage conservation efforts in the Ancient Capital also include the care, restoration, and propagation of trees, protecting ancient and precious species within relic sites, helping maintain the harmonious beauty of architecture and nature - a hallmark of Hue’s heritage space.

In the quiet and profound artistic space of Hue, Trinh Cong Son's music has never faded. More than half a century, songs such as "Diem Xua", "Quynh Huong", "O tro", "Nang Thuy tinh”, etc., are still present in the spiritual life of the people in the Ancient Capital, especially the young ones.

The collection of fine art works of Hue Museum of Fine Arts grows steadily year by year. However, a worthy exhibition space for these works remains an unfulfilled wish.

In 2020, when male officials and civil servants of the Department of Culture and Sports wore ao dai during working days and the weekly flag-raising ceremony, it immediately sparked controversy online. Then, it was not just the cultural sector, at important events, the provincial leaders (now Hue City) and intellectuals also began wearing ao dai. The appearance of the traditional ao dai for both men and women at cultural and educational events made the ceremonies more solemn, elegant, and impressive.

As the old saying goes, “vải Trạng cung Diên, nhãn lồng Phụng Tiên” (Trang Lychees from the Cung Dien area; spathe-wrapped longans from Phung Tien, a former royal garden district). Today, Hue’s longan season still preserves its original sweetness, enticing those passing the ancient citadel to pause and savor the taste.

On the afternoon of August 9, Cecile Le Pham Fine Arts Museum unveiled its new exhibition space at No. 49-51 Ham Nghi St. (Thuan Hoa Ward, Hue City), formerly a villa featuring French-style architecture.
