Among the approximately 70 traditional villages living on practicing crafts in Hue, the craft of making parasols is a special one. Beyond the meticulous craftsmanship required in the crafting process, this craft is also special because the finished products carry profound symbolic value in the local cultural life. Far exceeding their practical function of shielding from sun and rain, the parasols serve as markers of order, ritual, and reverence.

Dozens of displaying booths promoting the culture and tourism of provinces and cities across the country gathered in Hue to participate in the exhibition themed “Space for Tourism, Cultural Heritage, Landmarks, and Traditional Handicraft Products of Vietnam”.

Through investments in machinery, modernized production methods, adherence to food safety and hygiene standards, diversified designs, etc., many women have contributed to gradually elevating traditional craft products.

After Hue craft festival 2023 being organized for eight days, on the morning of May 5, the People's Committee of Hue City held a closing ceremony of a contest for voting the typical products at Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023, and announced the winning products.

After the first three days, the revenue of the participating craft villages at the Hue Traditional Craft Festival reached nearly 2 billion VND, with many establishments achieving high sales, such as Thai Vinh handicrafts, Loc Mai Hue Fig tea, and Bup Sen establishment...

After 8 periods of organization, Hue Traditional Craft Festival has become a brand name with many programs and activities on an increasingly large and professional scale. However, maintaining activities after the festival is what businesses and establishments in the area expect so as to bring craft village products closer to tourists.
