Hue to show off craftsmanship

The central city of Hue will promote its rich cultural history by holding a traditional craft festival in early June.

The event aims to promote the appreciation of artisans and traditional crafts as tourist attractions.

The festival will feature gold and silver jewellery, bronze crafts and woodwork, said the Hue People’s Committee.

Traditional handicraft villages around the city have produced much of the work. Artisans will give live demonstrations and the festival will organise visits to temples memorialising the founders of some traditional crafts.

The event is Hue’s second traditional craft festival. The first was held in early 2005.
