decorated in celebration of the 17th provincial Party Congress.
To date, all streets and roads in Hoa Binh city
have been adorned with flags and flowers. Hundreds of large billboards, flags,
posters and banners marking all-level Party congresses and the provincial Party
Congress have been erected. The messages celebrating Party congresses stand out
at public places like the province’s Cultural Palace, the T-junction of Ky Son
ward, the cross-road of Tan Thinh ward, the Hoa Binh Square intersection and
the T-junction of An Duong Vuong – Tran Hung Dao streets, so as to easily
access local residents.
The joyful atmosphere can be felt across the
city as the national flag is hung in all residential areas and local houses.
Besides, landscape improvement has been promoted
by the Hoa Binh Urban Environment JSC. All of the firm’s employees have been
mobilised to keep local streets green, clean and beautiful by increasing waste
collection, pruning trees, planting flowers, and installing more lamps at some
locations, from the expanded stretch of Chi Lang street, Tran Hung Dao street
to Truong Han Sieu street and Thinh Lang avenue./.
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.
