On the morning of July 11, Hue Central Hospital hosted the voluntary blood and platelet donation program titled “White Blouse - Pink Heart”, with the participation of 350 staff members and medical personnel currently working at the hospital. This annual event aims to help address the summer blood shortage while also promoting a spirit of compassion and solidarity within the medical community.

The beginning of summer is considered the start of the peak season for domestic tourists. It is also the time when Hue is striving to maintain and attract international visitors. By developing programs under the “Four-season Festival” orientation, this summer’s festival will feature many unique and captivating activities to attract tourists.

The summer travel season is peaking, but unlike previous years, this year's domestic travel trends show significant changes. Vietnamese tourists are adjusting their travel choices to fully enjoy their vacations, opting for night flights, train journeys, or personal car trips.

Faced with the pressure of the price of domestic airfares increased, this summer's peak travel season is predicted to see the trend in which domestic tours and road travel are "on the rise."

On the evening of April 19, at Hai Ba Trung pedestrian street (Hue City), the Provincial Department of Tourism organized the "Hue - Welcome Summer 2024" event. This event is part of the series of activities within Hue Festival 2024, with the aims to create a joyful and exciting atmosphere to welcome an attractive summer tourism season, as well as creating a media effect to attract visitors to Thua Thien Hue Province.

Visitors to Hue in the summer season are greeted with the sight of fragrant lotus blossoms adorning Tinh Tam Lake, their white petals fluttering like delicate butterflies in the breeze. The gentle and refreshing fragrance of lotus permeates the surroundings, and a passing encounter with this scene instantly uplifts one's spirits.

That is the confident statement of many students after completing a free-swimming class organized by the Chi Thien Fund for Children this summer. Sharing with Thua Thien Hue Weekend about the idea of implementing the Free-Swimming Program, Mr. Hoang Trong Thuy, Director of Chi Thien Fund for Children, Chief Representative of Taiwan’s Zhi-Shan Foundation in Vietnam, shared:

Creating eco-friendly crafts, the workshop on making pictures with recycled paper created by young painters from Nha Cuoi has opened up more interesting and meaningful activities for the children this summer.

Keeping the wild, cool and clear beauty of the mountains and forests, deserted streams are attractive and interesting choice for those who want to experience a new feeling this summer.

Hue has come into summer with the peach of the sun and the sound of cicadas resounding on the canopy of leaves. Sometimes the spring still pours mist into the early sunrise and late sunset. With the desire to see ‘the region of weeping willow’ and the ocean in the middle of this time, we chose Tan My village (Quang Ngan commune, Quang Dien district - more than 15km north of Hue City) to enjoy the rustic, close and serene beauty of nature which is typical of the coastal village of Thua Thien on the other side of Tam Giang lagoon.
