In 2015, Dang Tien, a critic, wrote me that he had just found a painting of the Perfume river by Bauchaud, a French artist, in 1902. The beautiful painting vividly depicted women from the market waiting to get on the boat by the Perfume river. The painting later appeared on the cover of the special issue of the Song Huong Magazine (Perfume River Magazine) in March 2015.

Falling in love with the peaceful and rustic look of the countryside, Phan Vu Tuan, a young painter, always spends his time traveling on countryside roads to paint. The familiar scenery in his watercolors reveals his thoughtful love for his homeland.

Binh Dien hydroelectric lake (Binh Tien commune, Huong Tra town, Thua Thien Hue province), which is 25 kilometers southwest of Hue city center, has a wild beauty, like a charming watercolor painting.
