Promoting and advertising tourism of Thai Nguyen Province in Hue City

Many foreign visitors to Hue are captivated not only by its scenic beauty and heritage but also by the charm of its traditional ao-dai.

On the afternoon of November 5, Mr. Le Tri Thanh, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee and Chairman of the City People’s Committee, received and held a working session with H.E. Francisco Noel R. Fernandez III, Ambassador of the Philippines to Vietnam.

For Hue, Resolution 80-NQ/TW (Res 80) opens up a vital opportunity to transform cultural and heritage potential into resources for sustainable development. However, to achieve this goal, it is necessary to fully recognize the existing “bottlenecks” in the management, preservation, and promotion of heritage values.

Amid the bustling streets, watch repairers, raincoat patchers and other craftsmen still toil away at their work. Some people come to them to save money; others simply hope to hold on to an item tied to cherished memories. Among the shops selling brand-new goods, the craft of repair still meets the practical needs of a segment of Hue’s residents.

Phan Vu Tuan, a painter, was born in 1994 in Son Tien Commune, Ha Tinh Province. He grew up in a midland village, surrounded by mountain ranges and immersed in the rhythms of life in a farming family. After studying at the University of Fine Arts in Hue, he decided to remain in the city beside the Huong River, where he has made his home and continued to paint. Over time, Tuan has become deeply attached to Hue, which has come to feel like a second homeland. His native Son Tien village and Hue City have become the two central subjects of his watercolour paintings.
