At 10:30 in the evening, the Alibaba Xixi Park on the eve of the 618 event was still brightly lit. As soon as Shao Dong got off work, his cell phone rang. Seeing the landline number on the screen, he remembered that the headhunter had made an appointment with him at noon to introduce him to the job opportunities of Douyin e-commerce.

As early as the end of 2020, Shao Dong’s colleagues have successively joined BYTE’s new team in Hangzhou. In the operation team, he is the same as the P6 person. After the past, the general package salary increase was basically 30%-50%, which made him a little ticklish. He thought that if he was poached, maybe he could talk about a 60% increase.

However, the “big and small weeks” that ByteDance generally implements overtime make people hesitate. Among the former colleagues who have already moved to the TikTok e-commerce company, some are very happy, but some “recruitment is the peak, and there has been no growth since then.”

In the recruitment call, the headhunter introduced to Shao Dong like this: Traditional e-commerce is approaching the ceiling, and short video e-commerce still has development dividends. Moreover, the increase of e-commerce is in a wider overseas area, and the internationalization of Byte is booming, with offices all over the world, and the long-term opportunity of Byte’s e-commerce is overseas…

It’s not just bytes that come to dig people, but also Kuaishou, Pinduoduo, Didi, Meituan, and even Shopee, which has entered from Southeast Asia.

“Up to P9, down to P6″, overnight, Ali’s e-commerce business seemed to have become Amazon China in 2018, becoming a key target for companies to enter e-commerce. A battle for the defense of Alibaba’s e-commerce talents has kicked off. The most popular employer ever According to many headhunters recalling to Tech Planet, in 2016 and 2017, the entire Alibaba Group has introduced a large number of headhunting suppliers. At that time, the domestic headhunting industry had just entered a period of vigorous development, accompanied by the birth of a large number of start-up headhunting companies. These headhunting companies are looking for the most dynamic industry and the largest KA client in this industry with the greatest appetite. “Ali’s cooperation terms are more friendly to headhunters in terms of recommendation mechanism and ownership rights than byte terms,” a recruiter who has served Ali’s e-commerce and ByteDance told Tech Planet, “Ali’s business Supervisors and recruiting HR are also the ones I have seen most willing to share business logic in BAT, which can help headhunters better understand their positions.” According to the “2017 China E-commerce Development Report” issued by the Department of E-commerce and Information Technology of the Ministry of Commerce, the total number of employees in China’s e-commerce industry reached 42.5 million that year; and according to the statistics of the research group of the School of Labor and Human Resources of Renmin University of China, the Alibaba Retail Ecosystem 36.81 million jobs were created, which is equivalent to contributing nearly 87% of the total number of industries. According to Tech Planet’s understanding, Ali’s recruitment in the e-commerce sector can be divided into four battlefields according to the two dimensions of “domestic and international” and “B2B and B2C”. Each battlefield has 3 to 5 SGs (that is, Ali’s Recruitment of HR) check. Since it is necessary to connect internally with business officers, interviewers, and HRGs, as well as externally with applicants and headhunters, an SG must be equipped with 1 to 3 outsourced SAs (recruitment assistants) to complete the recruitment work. “At that time, the supplier pool of a business department was less than ten or as many as dozens. But for an SG, the true core supplier would not exceed 5 or even only 1 or 2 in the same period. “This model is similar to gold panning. After running water, see what can be deposited at the bottom of the supplier’s pool. Every year, Ali’s B2B and B2C business groups will hold headhunting supplier conferences in Hangzhou’s Binjiang and Xixi Parks to conduct supplier ratings and awards. In this digging contest, “some win by quantity, some win by attracting high-level key talents, and some are making contributions to difficult jobs such as technology, products, and international talents.” The wide-spreading net in recruitment has also made a large-scale public advertisement for the employer’s brand and image. Beginning in 2016, Alibaba has been named “Most Popular Chinese Internet Enterprise” by Universum for three consecutive years. It also ranks first in the list of China’s most attractive employers released by LinkedIn in 2019. External headhunting, internal push, and day and night farming of the internal “Taoku” team, coupled with the increase in newly acquired ecological companies (such as Ele.me), created an explosive personnel growth in Ali from 2017 to 2019, according to iiMedia data Central data show that in 2017, the number of Alibaba employees was 50,100; after just two years, the total number of Alibaba employees in 2019 has doubled to 102,000. Image source: iiMedia Consulting According to the “Talent Migration 2019” report released by Maimai, the flow trends of the three BAT companies in 2018 are: Tencent and Baidu’s talents are concentrated in Alibaba and Bytedance. At the end of 2018, the domestic talent supply has reached the point where it cannot meet the recruitment needs of Alibaba’s e-commerce. Some product and technical positions have begun to target the return of talents from large overseas factories. In 2019, Tang Xing (Hua Ming Pingchou) of the new retail technology business group-Tao Technology brought a number of his P9 to the San Francisco Bay Area to share technology on the theme of “Ali New Retail”. Tang Xing served as the director of the Shanghai R&D center at Google. He was the CTO of iQiyi before joining the Alibaba Tao department. The Alibaba e-commerce team hopes that his experience and background in Chinese and foreign companies can fill in the cultural differences in the process of “talent internationalization” . Participants in this event are mainly Bay Area Chinese engineers invited from multiple channels. “Many of you here see that the combination of domestic business and technology is very cutting-edge,” a Google engineer who was invited at the time told Tech Planet, “There was a recruitment team on site, and some mid-level and above engineers got offers at the time. , The salary given is even close to the level of the Bay Area.” Shanghai and Hangzhou, the containment of new and old rivals In Shanghai, 170 kilometers away from Hangzhou, the headquarters of Ali, a “dark horse” Pinduoduo became a spoiler on the e-commerce track. Pinduoduo’s financial report shows that as of the end of 2020, its number of active buyers reached 788 million, a year-on-year increase of 35%. During the same period, the number of active buyers of Alibaba was 779 million and that of JD was 472 million. “Our department is now hiring, and we will never look at people from Pinduoduo,” the SG of an e-commerce business team in Ali told Tech Planet. Behind this sentence is the sensitive red line of competition. “I have encountered many people who have not stayed in Pinduoduo for long and come to Alibaba e-commerce for interviews. Maybe they want to use this experience to talk about salary increases for themselves. The overall impression is not good.” Although it is a strong competitive relationship, there are still some people from the Ali e-commerce team who have gone to Pinduoduo. An employee of Pinduoduo told Tech Planet that his business team has a group of old Ali people, “The resume that makes us most interested in recruiting is also an employee from Ali e-commerce. The point of leveraging is, one is, the former In the past two years, there are few e-commerce companies to choose from in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Second, in the remuneration package of Pinduoduo, there is a lot of cash and liquid assets, which is a selling point for Ali people who hold stocks.” If it is said that in Shanghai, Alibaba e-commerce is facing the digging of companies such as Pinduoduo, Meituan, Dewu, Shopee, etc., but also because of the pain point of “changing jobs in the city”, leaving many people in the headquarters of Alibaba in Hangzhou . Then, by 2021, the natural protection of geographical location has also been broken: Kuaishou and Byte, which have aggressively entered e-commerce, have successively moved their office and workplace into Hangzhou, the headquarters of Ali. As early as January 2019, BYTE announced that it would “formally join hands with the Future Science and Technology City” in Hangzhou, and at the same time released its technical business recruitment needs in Hangzhou on its official website. On June 12 this year, the “Plot No. 77 of Yuhang Group” at the core of the Future Science and Technology City was officially listed. Industry insiders told Tech Planet that the lot is likely to be sold to Bytedance in the first ten days of next month, as the byte in Hangzhou. R & D Center. The commercial building area of ​​the plot is 119,840 square meters, which is about twice the size of ByteDance Shenzhen Building. In March 2021, Kuaishou also announced the leasing of the entire office building in Hangzhou EFC Australia Center. The EFC Financial City officially issued a statement that “Hangzhou’s “standing Silicon Valley” is surging.” According to the Kuaishou insider, the Kuaishou e-commerce team newly moved into the EFC building will quickly expand from a few hundred to thousands. E-commerce business is speeding up. Where do e-commerce talents come from? The answer is self-evident. Some Alibaba employees found that the company’s drop-off point for the employee bus between Hangzhou and Shanghai had been posted by recruiters from Douyin and Kuaishou. It was just torn off today, and it will be re-attached again tomorrow with perseverance. “Nowadays, for the big Internet companies in Hangzhou, such as Byte, Kuaishou, and even Didi, as long as the e-commerce team is located in Hangzhou, Alibaba is the number one target digging company.” A Hangzhou headhunter introduced to Tech Planet Dao, their company has hundreds of consultants in Hangzhou, but they did not choose to cooperate with Ali. “Because of the cooperation, we can’t tap Ali’s people. Ali is now our largest talent pool.” When headhunting and digging people, they will use these words to persuade candidates from Ali: Now the e-commerce track is becoming lively again, it is the “first wave of bonus period” with the golden sign of Ali. Everyone is rushing to ask for it. , But in half a year, it may not be as popular as it is now. “It can be felt to be digged. Recently, many people from the company ran out for interviews, so that I was curious when I saw the vacant positions,” an e-commerce line HR said frankly. But at the same time, some HRs from the Central Taiwan Division also said: “I don’t feel anyone is leaving for the time being. Maybe the front-end e-commerce department has been poached a bit more seriously.” According to Tech Planet, people who have left can be roughly divided into three categories: the first category is those who have returned from overseas, the e-commerce site in Ali is not smooth, and the cultural temperament cannot be integrated; the second category is those who have been in Ali for many years Old employees, they are experienced, but they have encountered bottlenecks in their career development and want to go outside to see new opportunities; the third category is the most unwilling to see Ali, which is young people. The departure of young people is what Ali cares most about. Encourage the grassroots, solve the involution, and let the talents go longer “I’m a P5, and the salary increase recently gave me a monthly salary increase of 6000.” Peng Yang is a grassroots employee of an innovation team in e-commerce technology. He graduated with a master’s degree last year and recruited to Ali. This salary increase also confirms other Ali employees’ interpretation of the recent trend: Ali should stabilize and motivate P5-P7 grassroots employees, “6000 is nothing, some P6 colleagues’ monthly salary even directly increased by 10,000, or total The package is increased by 50%.” Employees at the grassroots level are easy to belittle themselves and are the easiest to be poached. Unexpectedly, they themselves are the seedlings of the “young and high potential” that the company wants to protect the most. Some groups that are not in the outlet business often fail to recruit a new person for a month. In Peng Yang’s view, if they leave, the impact will be even greater than the impact of a P9 resignation. “When some P9s did not come here before, we can do it by ourselves, and we can iterate and deliver normally. Some high Ps come over. It harvests the fruit.” The shortage of manpower in basic-level positions has even affected the resignation of other colleagues. According to Peng Yang’s recall, a P7 colleague resigned three times last year: the first time, he had already gone to the new company, and the company sent a close colleague to persuade him to come back; the second time he resigned, the company persuaded him to wait for a while. Time; I didn’t leave until after the Spring Festival this year. In the same bonus pool, employees with P8 and above are more likely to feel that this year’s performance bonus is flat. “The weight of the bonus pool has been put on the total package of P5-P7. A lot of P6 has risen to P7.” An Alibaba e-commerce business line HR told Tech Planet, “There are many ways to meet the expectations of grassroots employees for salary returns and promotion routes, but they will not reduce the standard and difficulty of promotion. We did not have a meeting to discuss specifically. , How to specifically do such a “talent defense war”.” According to Alibaba’s internal HR, the core of the so-called “talent defense war” is not simply to prevent being poached at the moment, but to ensure that the corporate talent echelon is iterated to a healthier “dissipative structure”. Dissipation is a thermodynamic concept, which refers to a non-equilibrium open system that needs to input energy and matter from the outside, such as a flowing river, in order to maintain a new orderly structure. In the Alibaba e-commerce business team, some HRs seem to have positioned two entry points to solve existing problems. One is to solve the involution of the “shoulder”. Like Peng Yang’s team, there are five or six P9s under P10, four of which are technology. Multiple high Ps are crowded under the same business. The result may be competition with each other and excessive redundancy of product functions. Usually, P8, which has been in Ali for many years, combined with the stocks accumulated in the early days, the total annual salary is at least 2 million or more, and P9 can exceed 5 million. Even the current offers from Byte are difficult to catch. “So you see, the case of its practical competition agreement to’chase and kill’ retired old employees is rare here in Ali. Ali has such talent confidence and company mindset, and I hope that they will still be’classmates’ in the future.” Corresponding to the absence of interception when the old Ali leaves, is the increase in the scale of school recruitment. Not only has the frequency increased to every month of the year, the types of positions recruited by the school have also expanded from the only technical positions in the past to business positions such as products and markets. The second is the need to tear off the labels of “PUA Big Factory” and “996 Fubao Company” in the minds of young people. In 2019, when the recruitment boom is booming, young people who get offers from major factories will also give priority to Ali. “Now they may give priority to byte. This is what really worries Ali.” “You have to accept the fact that it is no longer the most popular employer for fresh graduates before you can actively make changes.” The HR who proposed the solution admitted frankly that there were many old Ali interviewers in the past who also acted more arrogantly in the interview. It is also often faced with the pressure of complaints from both sides: the applicant is dissatisfied with the interview and failed, and the interviewer will challenge the quality of the resume. “Now, the focus of the entire foreign recruitment is shifting from high P to P5-P7 groups, and no longer specifically looking at overseas backgrounds. There are indeed people who have long-term development in the returnees who joined Ali in the middle, but many still use Ali as a short-term springboard. People with this mentality will start to feel tormented during the landing period.” Image source: “Talent Flow and Migration 2021” by Pulse Data Research Institute (Statistical caliber: net inflow = inflow talent-outflow talent) From the data point of view, Ali still maintains a “high outflow, higher inflow” talent throughput to ensure that the net inflow of talents is still ranked in the top two in the industry. Cultivating the long-term development of talents may be the core magic weapon for Ali in this battle for e-commerce talents. Peng Yang told Tech Planet that before interviewing Ali, he had also faced the position of BYTE. “At that time, I asked the final director-level interviewer what BYTE’s training plan for me was, and he introduced me to him. He was promoted for a short period of time, but when I asked, “What’s next,” he couldn’t tell why.” In this regard, Ali’s HR also feels the same when communicating with peers. In Ali, HR needs to understand the business and be able to drive the business. “But my HR friends at BYTE told me that their daily work is more monotonously searching for treasury, interviewing, and making phone calls. The mechanized work accounts for a relatively large amount and it is impossible to see the entire closed loop. This is related to the company’s delineated responsibilities. It is not the ability of the individual to change.” Ali has allowed them to see a deeper accumulation in the accumulation of systematization and methodological distraction. Faced with the actions of several other Internet giants coming to Hangzhou, and the aggressive advancement of Byte and Kuaishou on the e-commerce track, Ali remains optimistic. For Ali, now that there are more competitors, there is more urgency to innovate internally. As an Ali’s HR said, “Think about it another way: the more players there are, the more people are willing to consider the city of Hangzhou. Being stared at and digging means that the people we have cultivated are really good.” (Note: At the request of the interviewee, Shao Dong and Peng Yang are pseudonyms in the text.)

There has not been a study stating the time period when Quang products began to be exported to other countries, only that, as early as 1925, in the study on Quang Ngai, French Ambassador Laboord wrote that day: ” The wealth and abundance of this province also lies in the cultivation of sugarcane… The harvesting of sugarcane has found a regular exit from the Chinese in Thu Xa. They will export molasses to Hong Kong… They already export up to 12,000 tons of sugar a year.” The busy Phu Tho wharf is now just a peaceful and quiet residential area. Photo: Y THUY In the editorial Quang Ngai province, advocated by Nguyen Ba Trac, printed in Nam Phong magazine in 1933, it also helps us visualize the export of goods of the Quang Ngai people in the past as follows: “Quang Ngai has 3 gates. Big sea: Son Tra estuary in Binh Son, Co Luy estuary in Tu Nghia and Sa Huynh estuary in Duc Pho. Each gate has a Department of Commerce to tax export and import goods. Regarding goods exported through seaports, Quang Ngai province also stated that: “The most important export item of Quang Ngai province is sugar. The place to export the most is Co Luy estuary carried out by Thu Xa city. Ginseng and cinnamon are sold at Son Tra gate, salt is sold at Sa Huynh gate. Particularly for Quang Ngai sugar specialties exported through 3 seaports of Co Luy, Son Tra, Sa Huynh; Quang Ngai province also detailed that, in 3 years 1929 – 1931, Quang Ngai exported 24.1 tons of sugar. In addition to the above products, in the Quang Ngai Geography also mentioned more about the export of rice: “The number of rice exported through the seaports of Co Luy, Son Tra and Sa Huynh in 1931 was still over 80 tons. This is the amount of rice sold by landowners to private traders for export. From the above documents, it can be affirmed that the ownership of large seaports has helped trade and export goods from Quang Ngai to developed countries very early. The reason why Son Tra estuary (Sa Can) is the main export place of cinnamon products is because the source of cinnamon from Tra Bong is quite conveniently transported by traders along the Tra Bong river down to the sea estuary. In Sa Huynh (Duc Pho), because salt is produced by people right next to the sea mouth, salt becomes the main export product through this estuary. As for the Co Luy gate, according to cultural researcher Cao Van Chu, this is the gateway for sugar products from the Quang Ngai plain to other parts of the country and the world, not only through China, but also through China. and through Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore… There are no boats now At Co Luy, from ancient times, Chinese merchant ships, after entering this seaport, often anchored at Phu Tho wharf (in the territory of Nghia Phu commune, Quang Ngai city today). Here, goods transported from China such as silk, pottery, traditional medicine… will be unloaded on small boats and transported back to Vuc Hong wharf in Thu Xa (in Nghia Hoa commune, district). Tu Nghia today) delivered to the merchants there. After that, traders in Thu Xa again unloaded Quang Ngai products such as sugar, honey, and agarwood… and then transported them down to Phu Tho wharf and loaded them on Chinese merchant ships to take them back to China. Salt is the main export product through Sa Huynh gate, but for many years, the price has always dropped, making salt farmers less interested in keeping the job. Photo: Y THUY According to the documents in the book Co Luy in the stream of Vietnamese marine culture by author Cao Chu, in the documents of Quang Ngai Province recorded in 1906 by the French colonial government, maritime transportation in Co Luy was It is clearly shown as follows: “In: 330 merchant ships in Central Vietnam entered, 8 sailing ships from Cochinchina arrived, forming a total of 3,000 tons. Ra: 430 sailing ships of China, 27 sailing ships of Cochinchina, 20 sailing ships of Tonkin, combined to a tonnage of 13,000 tons. According to Nguyen Thi Mot, 88 years old, living in Nghia Phu, in the past, Phu Tho wharf was always crowded with boats. Seeing that merchant ships bought sugar in large quantities for export, many people in Nghia Phu also went to trade in sugar in the past. After finding sugar-making villages in Nghia Dung, Nghia Dung to buy spoon sugar, people went back to work to cut the sugar into small lumps, then use a mallet to rub the sugar into powder. Finished sugar is packed into bags to sell to Chinese merchant ships, or to boats going south and north. It used to be one of the busiest trading ports in the province. However, now, Co Luy estuary is just an alluvial estuary, with few ships and boats absent. Once the most important export of Quang Ngai, but now the sugar processing factory in Quang Ngai has also ceased operations. One commodity that used to be the main export product through Sa Huynh gate is salt, which has fallen into a state of “falling in price” for many years, making salt farmers no longer interested in keeping the job… I don’t know when. , those products have regained their “position” as before?

It is said to be a “gift from heaven” as a “gift of the earth”, so the Western termite fungus on the market is extremely expensive in the market, up to 800,000-1,000,000 VND/kg, even at times the price is up to 1.5 million VND/kg. The termite fungus grows in forested areas and hills where termites reside. Depending on the weather, the termite mushroom season can last for 2-3 months. However, this fungus only grows around 3-4 am and needs to be harvested early in the day when the sun has not yet risen, otherwise it will fade or be damaged by termites. With drought often occurring in the West, the mushroom that was “rare and hard to find” is now more scarce. Ms. Thu Huyen, a seller of termite mushrooms in Ho Chi Minh City, said that this item is increasingly scarce, so traders and small traders compete fiercely for goods. So at the end of the season, the price is high, but when there are goods, customers take them all, there is no surplus. It is also because of the expensive price, so customers who want to buy this mushroom must deposit 50% in advance to get it. “This year, in addition to guests in Saigon, the number of guests outside of Hanoi ordered mushrooms quite a lot, some people ordered 3-4kg, waited half a month and still no mushrooms.” There are 2 sources of termite mushrooms for sale in Ho Chi Minh City: Eastern mushrooms and Western mushrooms with very different prices. Eastern mushrooms, mainly from Binh Phuoc, cost from 500,000 VND – 600,000 VND/kg (bud mushrooms) while Western mushrooms, especially Ben Tre mushrooms, cost up to 1.2 – 1.5 million VND/kg. According to Huyen, the reason for such a price difference is because the Ben Tre termite mushroom is fragrant, sweeter than other places thanks to alluvial soil, and the quantity is increasingly rare, so the price is increasing. However, recently, there has been a phenomenon that traders bring mushrooms from other places, mixed with mushrooms collected from the local to sell at high prices, buyers should pay attention to avoid buying wrong. The termite mushrooms can be cooked into many different dishes such as: stir-fry, grill, pour pancakes, cook porridge. If you buy a lot, you can store it in the refrigerator for about 1 week, if you want to eat it gradually, you must clean it, put it in a bag or box and then store it in the freezer, when eating. Just leave the mushrooms out, wait for them to freeze and cook, but don’t wash them because washing the mushrooms will lose nutrients. For many people, termite mushrooms are a gift from nature. This is considered “fortune heaven”, whoever finds mushrooms is considered lucky. (According to GiadinhNet)

The image of the street market by the river is still somewhere. Prosperous past Bao Vinh ancient town is located in Huong Vinh commune (Huong Tra town, Thua Thien Hue province), about 5km from Hue city center. This old town is located in the chain of Thanh Ha – Bao Vinh towns, one of the two largest ancient commercial ports in Dang During the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries together with the town port of Hoi An (Quang Nam). In 1636, after moving the lord palace from Phuc An to Kim Long, Lord Nguyen Phuc Lan chose the location of Sinh junction overlooking Thuan An border gate to open Thanh Ha port. Formed on the land of the two villages Minh Huong and Dia Linh due to the immigration and settlement of the Chinese, Thanh Ha town port quickly became a busy and busy commercial port on the boat’s wharf. Merchants from China, Japan, India and some European countries often visit ports to buy and sell goods. Later, Thanh Ha port was filled up and declined. Bao Vinh was born as an inevitable continuation. Bao Vinh is located near the junction, where Huong River meets two dug Dong Ba and Cua Hau rivers. In the past, Bao Vinh was famous for making coffins, carefully mosaic nacre, weaving cloth, masonry, brick and tile, making flour … In 1885, the imperial capital of Hue fell to the hands of French colonialists, Bao Vinh was destroyed destroy and fade gradually. When King Thanh Thai established Dong Ba market street close to the capital (in 1899), Bao Vinh was gradually forgotten. Although no longer an important port, the image of Bao Vinh still exists with the old streets on the river and the unique architecture of the townhouses, bearing bold market street with the function of both living and trading. The typical classic houses have wooden structures, tiled roofs, and interlocking brick walls. Many riverside houses are built in the style of old quadrangle houses (or “banh ú”), facing the river bank, where goods are transshipped with merchant ships. Ancient houses dating from 100 to 200 years have created a distinctive ancient feature for Bao Vinh ancient town. A corner of Bao Vinh ancient town. Difficulty in conservation Bao Vinh ancient town conservation project has been implemented by Thua Thien Hue province since 1991 to promote the value of traditional ancient house architecture and tourism exploitation. At that time, there were 39 old houses here. In 2003, the province had a conservation plan for the old town of Bao Vinh with a research scope of 8ha, but at this time there were only 17 old houses. Currently, Bao Vinh has only 10 old houses, including 6 houses with Vietnamese traditional architecture and 4 houses with French architecture. Currently, the local government with the financial support of the French Senate has just restored 4 old houses. The rest are continuing to wait. Among the remaining old houses, it is worth noting that the house number 77 Bao Vinh of Mr. Phan Tam. This is the only remaining 2-storey wooden house in Bao Vinh. The house of 5 compartments, dating back to nearly 150 years, is now badly damaged and has a significant impact on the lives and activities of people. The old house No. 105 Bao Vinh dating back more than 100 years of Mr. Le Quang Chat is in the same situation. He expressed: “Due to being built for too long, this ancient house has been damaged a lot. Currently, my family has to repair some items to both make accommodation and protect the house from collapsing. Previously, someone came to ask about changing the wooden frame in our old house with a new wooden frame and “compensating” for 12 more gold trees, but my family refused to keep the old house from the ancestors. again”. The change and disappearance of the old town in Bao Vinh has made many historical, cultural researchers and people regret it. Although Bao Vinh old town has taken on a different look, the street spirit still seems to be floating somewhere. Tourists come to Bao Vinh as to remember, find a time of glorious past with a small street just over 300m long but there are still old houses, rice market, boat station across the river, or The village communal house and Thien Giang pagoda are over 200 years old … In 2019, a cafe here is set as the setting in the movie “Eye of the Eye” by director Victor Vu has attracted many visitors to the old town. Bao Vinh. Through many changes of history, Bao Vinh still has a strange attraction with the simple beauty of the street form in the village and the preserved village cultural values. Bao Vinh ancient town is a unique architectural – cultural heritage, has historical value and is considered a part of the ancient capital of Hue, which needs to be preserved and preserved.
