Last year, with the motto of "drastic actions-devotion desire,” the sector
completed all set targets despite COVID-19 impacts, contributing to
successfully implementing socio-economic goals.
In the year, 30 national relic sites were recognised, along with 52 intangible
cultural heritage. Vietnam brought home 38 gold, 15 silver and 14 bronze medals
from regional, continental and world sport tournaments. Revenue from tourism
activities was estimated at about 180 trillion VND (7.9 billion USD), down 42
percent year on year.
Participants at the event clarified difficulties and shortcomings of the sector
as well as the results reaped by each locality in 2021. They also agreed on the
tasks for the sector in 2022.
Addressing the conference, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam lauded efforts and
achievements of the sector in 2021. He stressed that in 2022, the sector should
further promote its role and effectively implement its tasks, while removing
obstacles in policy and mechanism, strongly speeding up digitalisation in
tourism activities, and promptly and stably recovering tourism activities.
Meanwhile, the sector should focus on preparing for the 31st SEA Games and
making strong performance at the event, he asked. He also urged the sector to
implement concerted measures to build a healthy cultural environment, while
strengthening communications to promote culture, sports and tourism activities
both inside and outside the country./.
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.
