An Lang (An Mausoleum), the shared mausoleum of three regal generations of the Nguyen Dynasty, including Emperor Duc Duc (the father), Emperor Thanh Thai (the son), and Emperor Duy Tan (the grandson), is located on Duy Tan Street, An Cuu Ward, Hue City.

In early June, Tan Do Thanh Hieu Co group (Neo ‘Bulletin of the Friends of Ancient Hue’ group) was overwhelmed with joy, forgetting the oppressive heat as they witnessed the completion of their cherished project.

Hue has come into summer with the peach of the sun and the sound of cicadas resounding on the canopy of leaves. Sometimes the spring still pours mist into the early sunrise and late sunset. With the desire to see ‘the region of weeping willow’ and the ocean in the middle of this time, we chose Tan My village (Quang Ngan commune, Quang Dien district - more than 15km north of Hue City) to enjoy the rustic, close and serene beauty of nature which is typical of the coastal village of Thua Thien on the other side of Tam Giang lagoon.

“Returning to Hue to Eat Rice” is Le Phi Tan’s third book, which has just been published in November. For me, books are always a precious present. More than that, books are sacred.
