Hue struggles to protect its relicsVietNamNet Bridge – The central city of Hue is struggling to conserve relics located along the Huong (Perfume) River as development proliferates in the area. “Thus changes in the ecology of the river have a negative impact on the relics,” Hai told a seminar on the conservation of the relics located along the river held in the former imperial capital city on Tuesday. The exploitation of stone and minerals on the upper riverbanks also affected the river in general and the relics in particular, he added. “We made many efforts to give explanations to UNESCO for these developmental impacts, especially the construction of new bridges spanning the river,” Hai said. “Local authorities should work to make Hue a museum of ecology, with harmony between ancient buildings and nature.
