Hue tourism has recently been honored with the recognition of two intangible cultural heritages at the national level. This event affirms the unique charm and cultural significance of the ancient capital region.
The unique spiritual heritage – Huế Nam Festival
Thua Thien Hue, the cultural heart of the ancient capital, has received exciting news about a newly recognized cultural heritage. The Huế Nam Festival has been officially acknowledged as a national intangible cultural heritage. This recognition enhances the cultural value and opens up new opportunities for the growth of Hue tourism.
The Huế Nam Festival, also known as the Điện Hòn Chén Festival, takes place in March and July of the lunar calendar every year. The event is held at Hương Thọ commune in Huế city and is deeply rooted in spiritual and cultural traditions. The festival honors the goddess Thiên Y A Na, a deity revered in the Mother Goddess worship of the Tam Phủ faith. It is not only a religious ceremony but also a folk cultural event that draws thousands of visitors.
The formal rituals include a procession of deities on boats along the Perfume River and vibrant chầu văn performances. The festival provides an opportunity for locals and tourists alike to experience community culture and spiritual life. It is also a chance to preserve the heritage value of Điện Hòn Chén, a national artistic landmark since 1998. The recognition of the festival as a national heritage highlights the appeal of Hue tourism and paves the way for the ancient capital to be showcased on the cultural map of Vietnam and the world.
The Thousand-Year Secret of Vân Cù Noodle Village
Along with the Huệ Nam Temple Festival, the craft of noodle making in Vân Cù village has been recognized as a cultural heritage. This noodle-making tradition, over 500 years old, is a source of pride for the locals and enriches the experience of tourists.
Vân Cù noodles are famous for their off-white color, softness, and the distinct fragrance of fresh rice. The traditional noodle-making process showcases the dedication passed down through generations. Over 100 families in the village still diligently produce noodles, supplying products to markets and restaurants everywhere. This unique noodle contributes to the reputation of the renowned Huế beef noodle soup.
Vân Cù noodles are more than just food; they represent a distinct cultural feature of the areas along the Bồ River. The simple yet rich flavor of the noodles leaves a lasting impression on those who try them. This fame has helped bring Huế’s culinary image closer to visitors from all over. The recognition of the noodle-making craft as a national heritage not only honors the value of labor but also marks a significant step in preserving culinary excellence and making Hue tourism even more attractive.
