    HUE - The Hue Traditional Copper casting Village Product Introduction Center has been invested with billions of dong but is abandoned, leading to deterioration.

    Nam 2005, Trung tam gioi thieu san pham lang nghe duc dong truyen thong Hue duoc xay dung tren duong Bui Thi Xuan, phuong Phuong Duc (quan Thuan Hoa, TP Hue) voi kinh phi 4,5 ti dong. Day la noi trung bay, gioi thieu va quang ba cac san pham nghe duc dong truyen thong xu Hue.
    In 2005, the Hue Traditional copper casting village product introduction center was built on Bui Thi Xuan street, Phuong Duc ward (Thuan Hoa district, Hue city) with a budget of 4.5 billion VND. This is a place to display, introduce and promote traditional Hue bronze casting products.
    Cong trinh co be rong hon 4.300m2, bao gom hai day ki-ot danh cho cac ho dan trung bay san pham dong va mot toa nha chinh gioi thieu lich su phat trien cua nghe.
    The project is over 4,300m2 wide, including two rows of kiosks for households displaying copper products and a main building introducing the development history of the craft.
    Sau khi hoan thanh xay dung, UBND TP Hue (cu) giao cho UBND phuong Phuong Duc quan ly. Thoi diem do, co 7 ho thue dang ky kinh doanh san pham duc dong tai day.
    After completing the construction, the People's Committee of Hue City (old) assigned the People's Committee of Phuong Duc Ward to manage. At that time, there were 7 tenants registered to do business in bronze casting products here.
    Sau nhieu nam hinh thanh va hoat dong, phan lon chi co khach noi dia den trung tam nay de mua sam cac san pham do dong tho cung nhu lu den, chuong mo… Khach den tham quan hau nhu khong co, ngoai tru so it sinh vien den tham quan nghien cuu. Dan den viec hoat dong gioi thieu, quang ba tro nen kem hieu qua. (nhung can phong trong rong cua trung tam).
    After many years of establishment and operation, most of the domestic visitors to this center come to shop for bronze worship items such as lanterns, bells... There are almost no visitors, except for a few students who come to visit and research. This has led to ineffective introduction and promotion activities. (Imsters of the center's empty rooms).
    Do do, UBND TP Hue (cu) da thu hoi tai san nha dat, cac ho dan phai tra mat bang va chuyen co so trung bay ve cac dia diem duc dong hoac tim thue mat bang khac. Dau nam 2022, dia phuong da co quyet dinh thu hoi dieu chinh tai san khu nha dat Trung tam gioi thieu san pham nghe duc dong tu UBND phuong Phuong Duc va giao cho Trung tam Phat trien quy dat TP Hue quan ly.
    Therefore, the People's Committee of Hue City (former) has recovered real estate assets, households have to pay the ground and transfer the exhibition facility to copper casting locations or find another premises. In early 2022, the locality decided to revoke the adjustment of the property of the central real estate area to introduce bronze casting products from the People's Committee of the Ward Ward Chapling and assign the Hue City Land Fund Development Center to manage.
    Sau khi tiep nhan, Trung tam Phat trien quy dat phoi hop voi cac don vi lien quan de xay dung de an su dung tai san cong vao muc dich cho thue, lien doanh, lien ket trinh UBND tinh Thua Thien - Hue (nay la TP Hue) xem xet phe duyet nhung de xuat chua phu hop (hinh anh hoang vu, u am cua trung tam thoi diem hien tai).
    After receiving it, the Land Fund Development Center coordinated with relevant units to develop a project to use public assets for leasing, joint ventures, and associations to submit to the People's Committee of Thua Thien - Hue province (now Hue city) for approval but the proposal was not suitable (the wild, gloomy image of the center at present).
    Do do, nhieu nam qua, Trung tam gioi thieu san pham lang nghe duc dong truyen thong Hue khong duoc su dung va bi bo hoang khien nhieu nguoi tiec nuoi Ghi nhan cua phong vien Bao Lao Dong, trung tam khong co cong, khong co hang rao phia truoc nen bat ky ai cung co the ra vao (hinh anh ha tang xuong cap).
    Therefore, for many years, the Hue Traditional copper casting village product introduction center has not been used and has been abandoned, causing many people to regret. According to a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, the center has no gates and no fences in front, so anyone can enter and exit (images of degraded infrastructure).
    Hien, cong trinh khong co ai trong coi, bao ve, tro thanh khu vuc chan tha, nuoi nhot gia suc cua nguoi dan (tren hinh la phong “Hoi lang nghe” xuat hien phan bo).
    Currently, the project has no one to look after or protect it, becoming an area for grazing and raising livestock of the people (on the surface is the "Crafts Club" room with cow dung).
    Xung quanh trung tam cay co dai moc len um tum. Rac thai ngon ngang bao phu cac loi di, khien trung tam tro nen nhech nhac, o nhiem.
    Around the center, weeds grow wildly. Garbage covers the paths, making the center shabby and polluted.
    Kim tiem bua vay.
    Surrounded by syringes.
    Trong khi do, he thong den chieu sang cung bi hu hong, bam day reu phong, mot so cai bi dap pha.
    Meanwhile, the lighting system was also damaged, covered with moss, and some were destroyed.
    Cac ki-ot tung la noi trung bay san pham nghe truyen thong duc dong, tung tap nap nguoi den trao doi mua ban gio dong cua khien nhieu gian nha xuong cap, mot so vi tri tran nha bi bong troc, mang mieng xi mang roi rot.
    The kiosks used to be places to display traditional bronze casting products, and were once bustling with people coming to discuss buying and selling during closed hours, causing many houses to deteriorate, some ceilings to peel off, and cement pieces to fall.
    Theo So Tai chinh TP Hue, don vi da co van ban gui UBND thanh pho Hue de nghi chi dao UBND quan Thuan Hoa nghien cuu phuong an phu hop. Neu khong co nhu cau su dung vao muc dich cong cong, thi chuyen giao tai san nay de co quan chuc nang quan ly, khai thac theo dung quy dinh phap luat.
    According to the Hue City Department of Finance, the unit has sent a document to the Hue City People's Committee requesting the Thuan Hoa District People's Committee to study a suitable plan. If there is no need to use it for public purposes, this asset should be transferred to the competent authority for management and exploitation in accordance with legal regulations.
