A self-managed road gives a facelift to Ha hamlet in Phu Lai commune (Yen Thuy district).

After a day of hard work, people of Sau, Dinh, Trac and Thuong residential areas in Lac Thinh commune gather at cultural houses in the afternoon to practice sports in a bid to improve physical health. It is also a form of recreation activity.

Among youngsters, some are keen on playing volleyball, while others favour football. Dynamic sporting and cultural activities have become a demand which help build a civilised lifestyle.

In the 2016-20, Hang Tram township and the communes of Yen Tri, Ngoc Luong, and Lac Luong are leading localities in building such way of life, creating a living environment of order and discipline.

Tran Trung Kien, head of the district’s culture and sport office said that along with building a civilised lifestyle, many ancient local rules are removed, thereby reducing unsound customs. Agencies work together in the holding of festivals to ensure cultural values and meet people demand in joining group and spiritual activities.

The building of a civilised lifestyle has promoted a similar campaign of building civilised families and residential areas. In 2020, the ratio of civilised households of the district reached 84.86 percent. Yen Thuy is now home to more than 100 art teams at grassroots level and 80 sporting clubs.
