The project "Preservation, renovation, restoration of Tu Duc Mausoleum", including Dien Hoa Khiem (Royal palace for worship and ceremonies), Minh Khiem Duong (Ceremonial pavilion), On Khiem Duong (Pavilion for royal functions), rampart, gate, and screen wall is being implemented by the Hue Monuments Conservation Center (HMCC).

For the first time, more than 100 documents, containing royal seals and autographs, along with many images about the story of the construction of Hue Imperial Citadel, were vividly reenacted through an exhibition held right in the Flag Tower (Ky Dai) area, the Upper Surface of the Citadel rampart, Hue Imperial Citadel.

Located 5 kilometers away from the center of Hue City to the North, Duc Buu village (Huong So Ward, Hue City) specializes in producing famous specialty dumplings of the ancient capital land, including: banh beo, banh loc goi (the Vietnamese clear shrimp and pork dumpling wrapped in banana leaf), banh nam, and banh ram it, etc.

The connection of the Citadel’s rampart not only provide locals and visitors new views and experiences, but also brings the connection among people, nature and heritage even closer.

Hue Ancient Capital is not only well-known for its tranquil beauty with antique temples and mossy ramparts, but also famous for the peaceful and cozy feeling of the simple countryside and simple-hearted people.

I remember watching exciting robocon matches broadcast live on television in the mid-2010s. The robots created by undergraduates were able to pick up the ball, play badminton, beat the drums, etc., which attracted many pupils and students at that time. Since then, many have always dreamed of enjoying the atmosphere on that robot arena once.
