The art of tailoring and wearing Hue's ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) has become a national intangible cultural heritage.

NDO - According to Decision No. 2320/QD-BVHTTDL, the art of tailoring and wearing Hue's ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) has been included in the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

According to a decision signed by Minister Nguyen Van Hung, the art of tailoring and wearing Hue's ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) (Hue City, Thua Thien Hue Province) has been included in the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage, under the category of Folk Knowledge.

Hue City is not only a heritage site with many famous tourist attractions, historical and cultural relics, but it is also known and loved for its ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress), created by many skilled artisans. Hue ao dai is not simply a garment but a work of art, embodying the cultural identity of Hue.

The ao dai has also attracted and become a trend among many young people, creating movements that embrace traditional values ​​and folk culture...

In Hue, for many years, the movement to preserve and promote the traditional ao dai (Vietnamese long dress) has been actively pursued. Numerous campaigns encouraging the wearing of ao dai in the community and workplaces have been launched. In 2023, the "Hue - Ao Dai Capital" project was officially approved by the Provincial People's Committee in Decision No. 678/QD-UBND. One of the important goals of this project is to preserve and promote the knowledge and skills of Hue's ao dai tailoring and wearing. This serves as a foundation for effectively promoting and honoring Hue's ao dai, boosting economic and tourism development, establishing Hue's ao dai in the international community, and developing the brand of Hue as the Ao Dai Capital.

In the tourism industry, having a traditional Vietnamese dress (áo dài) made quickly and picked up on the same day in Hue is one of the services highly favored by both domestic and international tourists.
