On rainy days in September, I had the opportunity to attend the workshop “Slow to Touch” with the method of healing the body - heart - mind with sound. This method is also known as bell meditation (sound meditation) to create sound waves with many different frequencies, affecting the human body and mind.

After a series of cold rainy days, Hue gets dry, being fresh and sunny. Hue is coming in mist season. Unlike many northern provinces, the mist in Hue is just enough to make the dawn rising a little bit later, but it is still poetic and beautiful.

With the vegetable growers, taking care and harvesting vegetables, especially the year-round-harvested ones on the rainy days and Tet days are the same. They always leave their homes from 11:00 p.m., and come back on around 2:00 a.m., on the day after with the sleepless faces and calloused hands covered in mud.

In Hue, the Christmas season usually occurs on the coldest days of the year. While the cold is always accompanied by rain, the cold and wet of the rainy season in Hue just become more shimmering and fanciful, as the Christmas lights in the churches are brightly lit up in every corner of the city.

Hue is naturally a peaceful, pensive city by being immersed in ancient features for many generations. However, have you ever imagined about a sad but gorgeous Hue on rainy days?
