I remember the first time I tried this dish was at the Thuy Bieu Thanh Tra Festival in 2022. Walking amidst the shimmering green and golden-yellow stalls of this special local fruit, I picked up a small bag of candied thanh tra peel before heading home. To this day, the flavor of that simple yet rustic treat lingers in my memory.

A Biah Hill, a.k.a Hamburger Hill, or Hill 937 is one of two historical destinations in the A Luoi highlands. The higher you climb towards the top of the hill, the narrower and more desolate the road becomes. Yet, this place still has a strange attraction for tourists, especially veterans from both within and outside the country. Many elderly visitors have to cut trees to make walking sticks, conquering more than 850 steps over 1.5km long to reach the summit.

On the afternoon of September 13, the Provincial Famer Association opened the “3rd Agricultural Fair 2024” at Nguyen Dinh Chieu walking street (Hue City).

Groups of young people walk along the shore, watching the waves crash. Each person finds a spot and waits for the right moment to cast their line.

Carrying with them a love for Hue and impressed by the hospitality of the people of the Ancient Capital, the Royal Stilt Walkers of Merchtem (Koninklijke Steltenlopers Van Merchtem) of the Kingdom of Belgium will participate in Hue Festival for the 5th time.

“Hue is ancient, yet always new and surprising. Anyone who has ever spent an entire misty morning or a cool sunset walking along the two banks of the Huong River will feel the magical vitality of Hue today... Hue is developing day by day, gradually worthy a city of heritage, a future center of specialized culture, education, tourism and healthcare of the country and the region” - These are the deep feelings of a distant friend about a Hue that is "forever beautiful and poetic".

Lately, I've found a fondness for evening walks or drives around the city, as the city comes alive and becomes quite interesting at night. Hue City, with its Perfume River, Ngu Mountain, and harmonious natural landscapes and beautiful heritage, attracts tourists by its peace and antiquity, being a destination for culture enthusiasts.

Along with walking, many Hue people are choosing swimming as a sport, both to relax and to practice and improve their health.
