HBO - Recently, the Provincial Library (the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism) has paid attention to improving the reading culture to the community. The library has been opening 6 days a week and adding a lot of new book titles to serve the needs of the readers.
The provincial library has been coordinating to implement the Plan promoting the lifelong learning activities in libraries, museums, cultural houses and clubs in the province. From the beginning of the year until now, the Provincial Library has organized the displays of books, newspapers and magazines to celebrate the Party - the Spring of Pig. It has also been maintaining the circulation of books to serve the needs of the readers.
In the first quarter of 2019, the Provincial Library organized 3 rounds of displaying books and newspapers to serve 8,500 turns of the readers with 14,000 circulated books and newspapers. It has updated and put the information on science and society on the website to introduce and serve the needs of the reader with 11,312 access times. In addition, the Provincial Library has organized the service of the mobile car library at the Gao Tao Festival, Pa Co Commune (Mai Chau). Recently, the Department of Information and Communications in coordination with the Department of Education and Training and Hoa Binh City organized Book Day of Vietnam in 2019, contributing to the improvement of the reading culture among the community, especially the younger generation.
As a land deeply intertwined with human history and Vietnam’s millennia-long journey of nation-building and defence, Hoa Binh is often revered for its epic tales and legends.
Residents of Hoa Binh boast a rich cultural identity, reflected in their unique language, traditional attire, customs, and folk melodies – described as "sweet as honey, clear as a mountain stream.”
Lac Son district’s Vu ban town held the 2025 Truong Kha temple festival on April 12–13 (the 15th–16th days of the third lunar month). Since its revival in 2019, the festival has been organised every three years, preserving valuable intangible heritage while meeting the community’s cultural and spiritual needs.
The clothing of women reflects the culture of the Muong, Thai, Tay, Dao, and Mong ethnic groups in the northern province of Hoa Binh.
Gongs hold a special place in the cultural and spiritual life of the Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh province. More than musical instruments, they are an indispensable part of community rituals and collective memory, echoing through generations as a spiritual thread linking the past, present, and future.
Preserving and promoting the cultural values of the Muong ethnic group has become an urgent task in the current context, as many traditional values face the risk of fading away. This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.
The Muong ethnic culture, deeply rooted in Vietnam’s mountainous north, continues to be preserved and revitalised by dedicated individuals and communities determined to safeguard their ancestral identity.
