 It
is not so beautiful and well-known as Mount Ngu.
However, as it is called, Vong Canh Hill is a
place where tourists can enjoy the lovely
panorama of Hue especially the Kings Nguyen’s
tombs.
A Dutch-backed plan to build a hotel on Vong
Canh hill in Thua Thien-Hue province has come up
against strong public protests and the
Government has ordered local authorities to
reveal further details about the project.
The Life Resort project was licensed late last
year under a joint-venture between the Huong
Giang Tourist Company and Dutch company Vietnam
Hotel Projekt, which has to date built two
resorts under the same name in Hoi An and Quy
Nhon.
The joint-venture planned to invest US$5 million
to build a five-storey hotel in Vong Canh hill,
15 kilometres from Hue imperial city, an
UNESCO-accredited World Heritage Site. The
developers broke ground to begin constructing
the hotel last month.
The Thua Thien-Hue People's Committee is eager
to have another foreign-invested project in the
province, where the level of foreign investment
is low due to poor infrastructure. The project's
developers said Vong Canh hill would be an ideal
place for visitors to relax in tranquil
surroundings after touring other local tourist
attractions.

Sweep
through Hue and the classic grace of women clad
in ao dai will surely to make a lasting
impression on you. But behind the beauty is a
rich history, brimming with cultural
significance.
When
Hue natives living outside the city return to
their homeland, they usually have sour shrimp.
Tourists also make sure to buy some jars of sour
shrimp before leaving Hue.Because of the
national reputation of this dish, some cooks and
merchants specialize in making sour shrimp...
No
one in the village Tay Ho (Hue) knows when the
hat making began but everybody feels grateful to
the job that feeds the whole village through ups
and downs of history.
Unlike
the painting genres of Dong Ho in Bac Ninh
Province and Hang Trong in Hanoi, the paintings
of Sinh Village in Huong Tra Dist, Thua Thien
Hue Province, are very simple with plain glyphs
and traditional colours, reflecting people’s
innermost feelings, wishes and simple dreams.
