Participants have checked out various local landscapes such as Bao Vinh Ancient Street, Truồi Lake, Bạch Mã Trúc Lâm Zen Monastery and Cầu Hai Lagoon while also joining in entertainment activities such as kayaking and SUP on Tam Giang Lagoon, seeing Huế citadel from a hot air balloon, playing zipline or highwire over hot stream Thanh Tân, and exploring Rú Chá Mangrove Forest. They have also experienced various local delicacies.

Nguyễn Văn Phúc, director of Thừa Thiên-Huế Province’s Tourism Department, said that through travel bloggers and KOLs, the authorities hope to lure more young people to Huế to experience the many beautiful places, interesting tourism products and cultural life of locals.
“Our province has actively developed community-based tourism, and special places created for young people,” he said.

“We also want to lure more international audiences to Huế Festival as the bloggers and KOLs have many followers from the international community,” Phúc said.
Travel blogger Lý Thành Cơ said in one of his posts during the trip: “If someone thinks that visiting mausoleums or palaces is cliché, he/she is completely wrong. I think it is still worth spending time to visit such places. Visiting Huế, we can go back in time to feel the past glory and do something like wearing an áo dài to feel like a mandarin or concubine living inside the palaces.”

Photographer Bảo Khánh hopes his journey will help update experiences Huế has to offer so that after the trip his followers will say, “Huế is so much fun”. — VNS
