“Hands of Huế” Video Series

Posted on April 24, 2020April 24, 2020by lanhue
hands of hue, candied kumquát

I started a mini video project called “Hands of Huế” in December 2019. It’s planned to be a series of short footages featuring the hands of Huế people that move my heart with their passion and talent; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and some other personal reasons, I am now focusing on the clever hands of my neighbor, Auntie Hương.

Scenting Tea with Lotus Blossoms

Posted on June 17, 2017November 15, 2017by lanhue

This lotus season is special to me as I have had a chance to watch my friend Tiên and her friends and tea-lovers scenting tea with lotus blossoms for the first time. I’m not sure since when Vietnamese people have made and drunk lotus-scented tea but it’s said that the emperors of Nguyễn Dynasty had […]

Happy Pancakes from Chuồn Lagoon

Posted on June 17, 2013May 11, 2017by lanhue

Bánh khoái is one of the signature dishes of Thừa Thiên Huế Province. Bánh is a kind of cake or food made of rice powder or paste; and khoái means “smoke”, some say, or “enjoyable”, the others explain. I guess both of the explanations make sense to me but I prefer the latter so now […]

Lăng Cô – A Town of Water

Posted on June 14, 2013November 13, 2017by lanhue

Lăng Cô is truly a town of water. You can see waters everywhere you go in this small town. Water runs through it; water surrounds it; water reflects it. I was pampering myself in Suối Mơ (Dreaming Spring)’s fresh water in the nearby mountains, wading in the Lập An Lagoon‘s brackish water with the fisherpeople, and swimming and […]

Huế, Việt Nam: A Peaceful Ride

Posted on June 5, 2013November 28, 2017by lanhue

 Sometimes I feel like I’m a traveler in my own hometown. There are many beautiful and serene villages in Huế I haven’t visited so every weekend I go out “discovering” a little bit more about my “heaven on earth”. Most of the time, I do it on my violet scooter but one Saturday morning […]

Huế: Suối Voi (Elephant Spring)

Posted on March 25, 2013November 13, 2017by lanhue

Can’t stand the boiling hot weather in Huế City this summer but get bored with ocean scenes? Suối Voi (Elephant Spring) is definitely a better-than-imagined choice you’ve ever made. It’s where you’re tempted to plunge yourself into the cold water to shake off the heat and relaxing in the giggling sounds of the spring running […]

Liễu Cốc Cham Towers to Wail for Help

Posted on March 22, 2013November 13, 2017by lanhue

In a village located about 12 km away from Huế City’s center, a pair of 9th-century Cham towers are silently collapsing and disappearing. Being recognized as a National Historic Site of Vietnam in 1994, Liễu Cốc Towers have not been well treated as they deserve. Trees and other kinds of plants overgrow here, which harasses […]

Hue: No Market

Posted on February 19, 2013November 13, 2017by lanhue

I’m sure you notice that Nọ Market has a funny meaning when it is written in English “No Market”. This is a very traditional market with a lot of scenes to see: local people buying, selling, chit-chatting, eating, smoking, fixing clothes and even beautifying themselves in a tiny hair salon. It is located in Phú […]
