The community ao dai festival taking place in Hue has attracted a large number of people and tourists to participate. The activity is part of a series of events in response to Hue Festival Week 2022 aiming at promoting the brand and unique value of ao dai Hue.

In the dreamy Hue land, together with the temples, mausoleums, the Huong River, Mount Ngu Binh, and the poetic streets, wherever in Hue, you can bump into the red color of the flamboyant flowers in the summer.

On the morning of June 15, an exhibition with the theme "Stories from the rivers" has just been opened to the public by the Provincial History Museum in collaboration with the Huong River Museum of Antique Pottery, at No. 1 23 August Street, Hue City.

On May 21, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development held a ceremony of releasing fish to regenerate aquatic resources in the Huong River. Attending the event were Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Hoang Hai Minh and Director of International Organization for Conservation of Nature of Norway Karoline Andaur.

On the evening of May 8, the provincial Board of Administration of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha held a ceremony to light up 7 lotus lanterns on the Huong River at Nghinh Luong Dinh Pavilion.

For the first time after 2 years being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, Hue Kite Festival 2022, which was held from April 16 to 23 at Tu Tuong Park, next to the Huong River’s bank, has attracted a huge number of tourists, especially the participation of the kids from the first days.

Telling the gripping stories about the Huong (Perfume) River and Hue land imprinted with the culture through antique pottery, the Huong River Museum of Antique Pottery aims to adopt a strategy of development towards modernity and promotion of the values to domestic and foreign tourists through the digital platforms.

Late 2021, Hue City People's Committee was honored with the Golden Award in the Second National Urban Planning Awards with the project “Detailed planning on two banks of the Huong River”. This is both an honor and a motivation for the city to continue to invest in improving infrastructure and landscape for a highlight for the space on the riverbanks.

I was invited to take a ‘Green Hue’ sightseeing trip. Standing on Gia Vien bridge and look northwards on a sunny day, I saw River Huong was supported with different colors: yellow of the Golden Shower tree, scarlet of the Flamboyant, velvet of the crape-myrtle, blue of the sky and green of water. It made me think of a picture of happiness and well-being in the deep memory of more than thirty years: Sinh paintings.

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.
