With the approval of the Hue City People's Committee, the Hue Yellow Apricot Association, in collaboration with the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, the Green Parks Center, and relevant departments, agencies, and localities, will organize the 3rd Hue Yellow Apricot Festival – 2025.
Over the past three years, the Hue Yellow Apricot Festival has become a meaningful platform for preserving, promoting, and enhancing the value of Yellow Apricot during the Lunar New Year. The festival plays a vital role in honoring, showcasing, and spreading the cultural and artistic values of Hue's people, as well as reinforcing the reputation of the Hue Yellow Apricot brand in the former imperial capital and beyond.
In January 2024, the National Office of Intellectual Property under the Ministry of Science and Technology granted a geographical indication protection certificate for the Yellow Apricot "Hue" product.
This is a distinctive indigenous flower species that has been cultivated for centuries in royal palaces, mansions, communal courtyards, temples, and residential gardens. It embodies a luxurious yet simple beauty, representing a springtime symbol of Hue’s nature and people, deeply connected to the daily life of the region.
