Amid moss-covered rooftops and the quiet waters of the Huong River, or wandering up Thien An Hill, Vong Canh Hill, and into the tombs of the Nguyen emperors… a young woman with the nickname Hoang Trinh Phan has made a significant presence across social media platforms, sharing stories about heritage. Her “heritage storytelling” page has attracted thousands of viewers and followers, not only for her charm but also for the wealth of essential knowledge about cultural heritage that she brings to the public and the community.

A friend of mine just came from the Southeastern region to visit Hue. After a day visiting various destinations, from the Imperial Citadel to the tombs of Emperors Gia Long and Minh Mang, then heading to the Van Thanh - Vo Thanh temples and Thien Mu Pagoda, my friend warmly remarked: “In Hue, wherever you go, you can see the Huong River. Now I understand why people here are so gentle and friendly. In this scene, by this river, it’s hard even to get upset!”.

The tomb of Emperor Thieu Tri (Cu Chanh village, Thuy Bang commune, Hue City) known as Xuong Lang, is a majestic tomb complex with beautiful landscapes in Hue Ancient Capital. Over time, the structure has suffered significant damage.

On the morning of February 22nd, at the tomb of Emperor Gia Long in Huong Tho commune, Hue city, Hue Monuments Conservation Center organized a ceremony to launch the “Tet trong cay” (“Tree Planting Festival”) in the Year of Dragon 2024.

The Emperor Minh Mang started to build the Tomb in 1840 and it took 3 years to complete. This majestic work had to mobilize up to 13.000 workers and troops to join the construction.

The groundbreaking ceremony was organized by Hue Monuments Conservation Center on the morning of June 13. The project belongs to the complex of relics of Emperor Thieu Tri's tomb in Thuy Bang Commune, Hue City.

On the morning of March 30, Hue Monuments Conservation Center announced that they would charge visitors entrance fee for visiting the 3 relics: Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities, An Dinh Palace and Emperor Thieu Tri's tomb.
