On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Japan, aiming to promote cultural exchange between Vietnam and Japan in the Central region, the HUE MATSURI 2023 event took place, with the theme "Manga Palace", within two days from September 9 to 10, in the square in front of the Quoc Tu Giam relic in Hue Imperial City.

Ky Dai (The Flag Tower) is one of the cultural symbols of Hue Ancient Capital, an architectural relic of the Nguyen Dynasty.

After two archaeological excavations of the National Relic of Mount Ban (An Tay Ward, Hue City), experts have discovered a number of vestiges and relics that contribute to confirming that this place is where Nguyen Hue set up Nam Giao Esplanade to sacrifice to “heaven and earth” before ascending the throne. Also, according to the latest archaeological information, experts recommend turning this relic into a special national relic.

After a period of phase 2 excavation of the Mount Ban relic, experts have discovered many more layers of foundation, sandstone, broken bricks... From these discoveries, it can be determined that the altar of heaven in Mount Ban in the Tay Son period had a simple construction technique, taking advantage of the natural rocky terrain.

With the efforts of local authorities, the Government as well as international organizations, after 30 years of being honored as a world heritage site by UNESCO, the Complex of Hue Monuments has gradually recovered its original appearance and is in its phase of stability, development and value promotion.

The groundbreaking ceremony was organized by Hue Monuments Conservation Center on the morning of June 13. The project belongs to the complex of relics of Emperor Thieu Tri's tomb in Thuy Bang Commune, Hue City.

This was emphasized by Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, at the seminar themed "Culture, Heritage and Tourism", which was taken place on the afternoon of April 14 in Ha Noi.

On the morning of March 30, Hue Monuments Conservation Center announced that they would charge visitors entrance fee for visiting the 3 relics: Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities, An Dinh Palace and Emperor Thieu Tri's tomb.

Along with the investment in completing traffic infrastructure, lighting system and public utilities, Hue City has recently prioritized the resources to allocate investment capital to upgrade and restore communal houses, in order to contribute to the conservation and restoration of relics in the area.

According to the People's Committee of Hue City, the city will invest more than 26 billion VND in 2023 to restore and embellish four communal houses in the city area, in order to preserve and promote the values of historical and cultural relics.
