The organisers of ‘National Tourism Year 2012’ and authorities of Thua Thien-Hue province have announced that a number of cultural activities will take place during the months of June, July and August.
All the cultural activities aim to promote tourism in the country and lure domestic and international tourists.
- 13th ASEAN International Open Chess Tournament will take place in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue from June 10 to 19. Participants will be divided into different age groups ranging from 8 to 20, and over 50, to compete for 78 sets of medals in accordance with the Swiss system.

Lang Co beach, 30 kilometres north of Hue City, is a peaceful fishing village famous for its spectacular natural landscapes, surrounded by mountains and the boundless blue sea with waves playing on its fine sand beaches. Between the mountains and the sea lies the mysterious Lap An lagoon, home to flocks of white storks that return to their nests every evening.
