Recent long-distance calls from my mother have been livelier than ever. Just yesterday, my sister-in-law showed her how to send photos via Zalo, resulting in a morning filled with constant phone messages. As I opened them, I discovered that in my hometown, the preparations for Tet (Lunar New Year) have been going on for over a month.

"Hue by Light - The Live Show" is a program organized by Thua Thien Hue province in collaboration with the French Embassy in Vietnam to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Vietnam - France diplomatic relations.

On the evening of December 12, at the Noon Gate Square, tens of thousands of spectators had an emotional night with the "Hue by Light - The Live Show" program.

The performance lasts 50 minutes with the theme of the four seasons, the Art Nouveau movement combined with traditional Vietnamese lacquer art, minimalism with dragons and phoenixes. The show also features the movement of Art Deco along with iconic plants and trees in Vietnamese culture.

On the afternoon of September 18th, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh, Member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing board and Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, hosted a welcome and working session with a delegation from the French Embassy in Vietnam.

The flowing ao dai inspired by the Huong River - the poetic and renowned river of Hue, and perhaps the most beautiful in Vietnam - have been elegantly showcased by models to the backdrop of music, sometimes serene, sometimes lively, taking the audience through a range of emotions.

The beautiful images of the VnExpress Marathon Imperial Hue 2022 that took place in mid-April show that Hue is already an appealing running track of Vietnam. From now on, tourists reach Hue not only to visit the heritage, enjoy the food and live slowly in relaxation but also to run with fresh breath and poetic scenery.
