(Vietnam Package Tours) The government of Thua Thien – Hue will set at least 5 billion VND (over 230,000 USD) for the Hue Garden House restoration of 3-5 typical garden houses between 2015 and 2020. 

According to Vice Chairman of People’s Committee Mr. Phan Ngoc Tho, the council will assess the value of garden homes for classification and financial distribution will be set up.

The owners who want to restore their property will have their Local authorities covered the full interest rate of preferential loans offered to, he noted. 

Buying seedlings, opening tourism services, training tour guides, improving infrastructure and organizing traditional cuisine and music events will also come to the aid, he added.

According to the Hue Relics Preservation Centre, Thua Thien-Hue is now home to 690 traditional houses called “nha ruong”, half of which are located in the imperial city of Hue. Each house includes a garden at least 400 square metres wide. 

Blossoming under the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945), the last royal monarchy in Vietnam’s history, “nha vuon” (garden houses) such as An Hien, Lac Tinh Vien, Tinh Gia Vien, Ty Ba Trang and Ngoc Son Cong Chua are a prominent feature of Hue. 

A typical garden house in Hue has two main parts: “nha ruong” (house built with many beams [ruong] and pillars [cot]) and the surrounding garden, designed according to geomancy and their owners’ spiritual life and skills.

We do hope that with the restoration of Hue Garden Houses, Vietnam Local Tour Operators will have more product to show to customers when they are on their Hue Danang Hoian Package Tours.
