After leaving showbiz, the male actor spends most of his time on personal projects. Besides the field of resorts, in recent years Chi Bao is also known as an antique collector and a cultural conservation worker.

One of the notable highlights is the establishment of the Pottery Museum of the founding period in 2025. This is a place to display an ancient pottery artifact collection collected by Chi Bao for many years and opened to the public.

The museum currently preserves many artifacts of historical value, including national treasures. At the end of 2024, the Dong Son cultural ceramic Cho artifact was recognized as a National Treasure. By 2026, the Hoa Loc cultural ceramic Bat Bong, dating back about 4,000 years, will continue to be recognized as a National Treasure, contributing to making Chi Bao's museum one of the non-public museums owning many rare artifacts.

In parallel with business and cultural preservation, Chi Bao still maintains charity activities through the Understanding Heart Fund. For many years, the fund has implemented programs to support children in difficult circumstances, especially children with congenital heart disease nationwide.

At the age of 53, Chi Bao no longer appears frequently in public like at the peak of his career. Instead, he chooses a peaceful life with his family, pursues passionate projects and spends time on community activities. The actor's journey after retirement shows a different image of Chi Bao - a businessman, collector and family member.

Chi Bao and Ly Thuy Chang publicly announced their relationship in 2019, registered their marriage in 2021. The couple currently has two children together, Gia Khang and Gia Linh. On social networks, the male actor often shares everyday moments with his wife and children, receiving many wishes from the audience.

In 2021, Chi Bao announced his retirement after more than two decades of artistic activities. Before that, he was a familiar face of the Vietnamese screen through many films such as "Dong Tien Xuong Mau", "Nhung Dac Con Thanh Pho", "Luc Van Tien", "Co gai thua xí", "Giao thoi"...
