The Hue Municipal People’s Committee has announced the opening of a 3.5km waterway route along the Ngu Ha River, which is to be put into operation from April 10, 2026. This marks the launch of an electric tourist boat project, which is expected to begin operation on April 30, opening a new direction for exploiting heritage space by green and experiential water transport.

For many years, the debate surrounding urban heritage conservation has revolved around one question: how can we preserve identity without hindering development? The 5th Regional Conference of the Organisation of World Heritage Cities (OWHC) for the Asia-Pacific region, recently held in Hue, offered a new perspective — placing people at the centre of conservation.
