A wide range of festive, art, and sports activities highlighting Vietnamese culture have taken place along the two banks of Hue city’s Perfume River. Tourist Doan Dinh Thang said: “The Hue ancient capital is one of major historical relics in Vietnam. I visit Hue during Tet as a way to remember our roots. The relics are majestic and have been well preserved.”
