The performance of the Tan Thinh ward team.
The artists have brought 50 special performances of songs, dances, music which were carefully prepared with high professional quality. The entries were all true to the theme of praising the Vietnamese nation and people, the tradition of the armed forces. The contest took place in an exciting atmosphere, attracting a large number of people to cheer.
As a result, the Organizing Committee awarded the first prize to the Dong Tien ward team; 2 second prizes: Thinh Lang and Tan Thinh wards; 3 third prizes: Phuong Lam ward, Hoa Binh commune, Thong Nhat commune; 4 consolation prizes: Yen Mong, Su Ngoi, Thai Thinh and Thai Binh ward.
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 This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.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.
