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.

The painting "Long van khe hoi" (Nine dragons in the clouds) is a masterpiece on the ceiling of the old main hall of Dieu De Pagoda, which has been moved around 20 meters backward, and is currently being well preserved to the surprise of many. The painting used to be a topic of heated debate for many years regarding whether to keep in the old main hall or to dismantle it. Dismantling it also meant erasing this masterpiece.

Despite of the onset of rainy season, when tourists are no longer rushing to seek tourist destinations, Thua Thien Hue is proactively attracting tourists in the last months with numerous winter tourism activities and products in Hue.

It turns hot when summer comes. Despite the fierce heat of the sun in Central Vietnam, the land of Huong River and Ngu Mount offers various fruits and flowers to serve tourists that remind those away from home.

The recent prolonged hot weather has led to a significant number of people heading to Huong River, the section that flows through the center of Hue City, to cool off and beat the heat.

The viewer is so surprised to see for the first time the original paintings on phap lam at the ancient An Dinh palace. The paintings depict a very popular tale to people: Thuy Kieu. Phap lam is the designation for artworks which are made of bronze inside and coated with many layers of enamel with colored decorated patterns then heated at high temperature.

Besides traditional flowers such as chrysanthemum, marigold, and lily flowers, etc., the flower-growing farmers also grow many new flowers including orchid, and purple heather flowers.
