With more than 25 years of collaboration with Hue Monuments Conservation Center, Prof. Satoh Shigeru, a leading expert in the field of landscape study and urban planning at Institute of Urban and Regional Studies, Waseda University in Japan, has made many interesting discoveries about the mountain-water landscape in Hue. Hue Today Weekly had a meeting and interview with him about his exciting discoveries.

The primeval forest with a system of beautiful streams and waterfalls, the vast lagoon connecting to the ocean, along with many other magnificent landscapes of Phu Loc, have mesmerised sketchers. Standing before such beautiful scenes, the sketcher couldn't help but feel moved to put shimmering, fanciful strokes on the sketches.
