Currently, Hoa Binh City has 03 nationally recognized heritage sites, 09 provincially recognized sites, 11 sites listed by the Provincial People's Committee for inventory, and hundreds of other sites being well-protected and promoted for their value. Additionally, the traditional festivals of Muong and Dao ethnic groups have contributed to the unique cultural identity of this region.

During the event, over 200 students were introduced to the several notable heritage sites in Hoa Binh City, such as Hoa Binh Prison historical site in Tan Thinh Ward, the historical site of the Political Training and Pre-Congress II of the Lao People's Party in Dan Chu Ward, the scenic Tiên Phi Cave in Tan Hoa Ward, and Su Ngoi Temple in Quynh Lam Ward...

This promotional event aimed to provide the students with basic knowledge and a deep understanding of the core values of local cultural heritage. It also sought to raise the awareness among the students and the younger generation about the importance of preserving and promoting the cultural heritage passed down from their ancestors, contributing to the building of "friendly schools and active students”.
