The centre will offer free entry to Hue heritage sites for Vietnamese visitors on only one day during the Tet Lunar New Year, instead of three days as in previous years. 

Meanwhile, the centre has added two new free admission days: the anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and Vietnam Cultural Heritage Day (November 23).

Free admission will also be offered on other occasions, including Thua Thien-Hue Liberation Day (March 26), and Vietnam’s National Day (September 2).
