Speeding up the restoration of Thai Hoa Palace

TTH.VN - Carefully implementing the Thai Hoa Palace restoration project to ensure the methodical and scientific quality, Hue Monuments Conservation Center is working day and night to accelerate all stages of the project, striving to open the palace to visitors by the end of November, ahead of schedule.

Thai Hoa Palace was constructed in 1805 by Emperor Gia Long at the site of the Dai Cung Mon area. In 1833, Emperor Minh Mang had it rebuilt at its current location. As the place where the throne was placed, Thai Hoa Palace - a magnificent architectural masterpiece bearing the glorious mark of the Nguyen Dynasty, is considered not only the heart of the Imperial City, but also a place to preserve the system of literature and poetry, in the unique style of decoration of “nhat thi, nhat hoa” (one poem, one painting), and “nhat thi, nhat tu” (one poem, one word) both in its interior and exterior.

Towards the Vietnam Cultural Heritage Day (November 23), Thua Thien Hue Weekly would like to invite readers to visit Thai Hoa Palace during these days when artisans are constantly working overtime to complete the restoration of the masterpiece to the best of their ability.
