via Vietnam Plus, 09 August 2023: The Hue Monuments Conservation Centre and Japan’s Waseda University hosted a workshop on preserving and developing the cultural landscapes of Hue heritage, focusing on aspects like feng shui elements, heritage management, and community-based eco-tourism, to contribute to a master plan for conservation until 2050.
At the workshop, experts and researchers exchanged views relating to the management of heritage buffer zones, the planning of building the Hue ancient citadel in history, the conservation of cultural landscapes in Hue Heritage urban area and feng shui elements in the planning of the imperial tombs of kings of the Nguyen Dynasty.
Shigeru Satoh, Professor Emeritus of the Waseda University, said that in addition to protecting the landscapes of relics in line with regulations, it is necessary for the locality to develop community-based eco-tourism around the imperial tombs of Kings Gia Long and Thieu Tri to guide local citizens to live with the heritages and protect them sustainably.
