Recently, the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province and the American Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (AmCham Vietnam) co-hosted a conference titled: “Green Transitioning for Economic Prosperity: Future for East-West Corridor”. Mr. John Rockhold, President of AmCham Vietnam, foreign diplomatic missions, businesses, experts, and investors from Vietnam, the United States, Laos, and Thailand attended the conference.

In a late summer afternoon, I climbed up the slope in the western hilly area of Hue to visit an artist.

Within the framework of the conference "Meeting Thailand" taking place from August 3 to 4, 2023 in Dong Ha city, Quang Tri province, on August 4, Mr. Phan Quy Phuong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, had exchanges at the discussion session related to supply chain integration and promotion of cooperation on the East-West Economic Corridor.

Inside the Hue Imperial Citadel, Can Chanh – the most important palace after Thai Hoa Palace – was built in the 3rd year of Gia Long’s reign (1804) and destroyed in 1947. This is also the palace that is assessed by Western scholars as the most beautiful and splendid construction of the imperial citadel.

Hue’s Western Quarter, including three main streets of Pham Ngu Lao, Chu Van An, and Vo Thi Sau, is a favorite stopover for many domestic and foreign visitors, especially at the end of the day, and the weekends.

After more than 10 years making a living in the tourism industry, Truong Thi Huyen (born in 1986) had to quit her job due to the impact of COVID-19. Huyen turned to another fun and exciting hobby of Macrame art, which is still quite new in Hue Ancient city.

Not similar to the “Western Street” (the Pham Ngu Lao - Chu Van An - Vo Thi Sau Walking Street) and Hue Imperial City Night Street, Hai Ba Trung Walking Street is expected to be a bustling shopping street, serving the needs of nightlife entertainment for the locals and visitors, which is also a venue of cultural, artistic and street music activities.

At the conference held in Bandung city, West Java province, Indonesia from November 23-25, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Phuong shared about the tourism linkages between localities, promoting destinations, and diversifying forms of market connection.
