A special cultural performance at the week of Culture and Tourism in Binh Thanh Commune, Thung Nai (Cao Phong).
Binh Thanh is a commune in the lake area of Da river, having the provincial route 435 passing through, which is convenient for domestic and foreign tourists to visit. Currently, there are a number of businesses investing and promoting ecotourism, resort and community tourism activities. They are Lahills Hoa Binh joint Stock Company, MoraGroup joint Stock Company, BeruGroup joint Stock Company, and the Cooperative of the community tourism site in Mo village.
Within the framework of the Week of Culture and Tourism in the communal cluster, many programs and activities promoting tourism, tourism products, and honoring the traditional cultural values took place. The people and visitors can enjoy the special cultural and artistic performances of the folk art festival of the ethnic minorities in the cluster; the night of cultural exchange welcoming Binh Thanh commune when it met the new rural standards; the cooking contest "Warm and loving family meal” and the visiting stalls displaying products of the households doing community tourism.
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.
