The organizing committee of Hue Festival 2024 has just officially announced the ticket prices for the special art programs and the Royal banquet within the framework of Hue International Arts Festival Week 2024.

Joyful, enthusiastic, and enlightening are the feelings of “student travelers” after participating in the “Heritage education” program (HE) organized by Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities (HMRA).

Carrying with them a love for Hue and impressed by the hospitality of the people of the Ancient Capital, the Royal Stilt Walkers of Merchtem (Koninklijke Steltenlopers Van Merchtem) of the Kingdom of Belgium will participate in Hue Festival for the 5th time.

Recently, according to the ranking of the Vietnam Records Organization (VietKings) - TOP Vietnam Center (Topplus), Hue Royal Antiquities Museum has been recognized as one of the top 10 most visited museums in Vietnam.

Inside the Hue Royal Palace heritage site, at Duyet Thi Duong Theater (the theater for the king, royal family members, and mandarins to enjoy traditional royal operas) stands a space exhibiting hundreds of tuồng (traditional Vietnamese opera) masks, which get tourists to stop to explore.

The organizing committee of Hue Festival 2024 has recently unveiled the official poster for the upcoming festival, scheduled to take place in mid-June from the 7th to the 12th.

The following are some photos taken by Nguyen Phuc Bao Minh, a photographer, during a visit to the Nam Hong Royal Museum (Tu Son, Bac Ninh), with a working group of Hue Monuments Conservation Center, where the “Emperor’s Treasure” golden seal is displayed by Mr. Nguyen The Hong, a businessman.

Since 2022, the Hue Festival has been developed with a four-season orientation through a series of continuous events and festivals throughout the year, making the most of unique cultural - geographical - historical factors from royal festivals, folk festivals, religious festivals, etc.

Under the ancient Nguyen Dynasty, the ceremony of lowering Neu tree was performed to mark the end of the Tet holiday and the normal life of work resumed.
