“The scents of an ancient village - Happy Footsteps” - Running race to be held

On the morning of December 10, in Phuoc Tich ancient village, Phong Hoa commune, the People’s Committee of Phong Dien district held a Half Marathon in 2023 with the theme “Huong xua lang co - The Footsteps of Happiness”.

A large number of locals, domestic and foreign visitors came to Thai Duong Ha Village (Hai Duong Commune, Hue City) to watch the Cau Ngu (Fish Worshipping) Festival, held by the locals on the morning of February 1 (the 11th day of the Lunar New Year).

On January 30 (the 9th day of the Lunar New Year), the traditional wrestling festival of Thu Le village (Quang Dien district) took place, attracting a large number of people and tourists to participate and watch. Attending was the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Phan Ngoc Tho.

The ancient ruong houses, river wharfs from afar, the ancient gold apple tree (Diospyros decandra) and the flaming pottery kiln of Phuoc Tich ancient village became shimmering and poetic when being painted. From real-life objects to becoming a painting, these scenes contained a lot of painters’ emotions and vibration about a so-called rare ancient village of Vietnam.

The exhibition displayed 38 artworks by 37 authors who were also lecturers and students from the Faculty of Architecture, University of Sciences; The University of Arts, Hue University, and other high schools in Phong Dien district.
