On the 155th anniversary of the birthday of Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan - the mother of President Ho Chi Minh - and the 133rd anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday, the People's Committee of Nghe An province, in coordination with the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province, organize a special show called “Người mẹ làng Sen” (“The mother in Lotus village”).

In the lakes around Hue Imperial Citadel and all over the periphery of Hue City, white lotus flowers have begun to bloom, bringing the pure and brilliant beauty.

Inside the Forbidden City, Thai Binh Pavilion was once used by the king for reading books and reciting poems above the quiet surface of Ngoc Dich Lake. Visitors can leisurely sit on a boat gently surfing on the lake and enjoy the pure taste of lotus tea while admiring the palaces, fortresses, and the beauty of the royal Parasol flowers.

From the Hue lotus with a close and familiar appearance, researchers at the University of Agriculture and Forestry, Hue University have "transformed" each part of the traditional lotus plant into attractive products on Vietnamese people's dining tables and living rooms; and, it is going to be exported to America in the near future.

“Lotuses are not lotuses, but they are lotuses,” concludes Prof. Dr. Trang Thanh Hien, a researcher in art, about the most recent artworks by Phan Hai Bang called “Confluence with Lotuses on Paper” on display at Le Ba Dang Art Museum (15 Le Loi St., Hue City.)

A solo exhibition, entitled "Ngau lien tren giay" (“Lotus in spontaneity - on paper”) by artist Phan Hai Bang, was opened on the afternoon of November 18 at Le Ba Dang art space (Hue Museum of Fine Arts, 15 Le Loi Street, Hue City).
