(HBO) – The People’s Committee of Cao Duong commune, Luong Son district has held a ceremony to inaugurate the first phase of Quen Thi communal house.
The ribbon cutting ceremony to inaugurate Quen
Thi communal house in Cao Duong commune, Luong Son district.
The communal house had long been built in the
field of Quen Thi village, serving as a place where religious activities took
place to show reverence to ancestors, gods and village founders.
In 1951, French colonialists attacked the
village, killed locals for robbery and burned the communal house. By 1996,
locals voluntarily contributed their money and efforts to rebuild the communal
house at its old campus. However, through time, the communal house degraded
seriously. Thanks to the support of departments and sectors in the province and
district, Most Venerable Thich Dao Thinh from Khai Nguyen pagoda encouraged
Buddhist monks, nuns and sponsors to contribute money to rebuild the communal
house. As a result, people in the village and commune provided 40 million VND and
working days while 39 households donated land to expand its campus area to over
13,000 square metres. The first phase of the project has been completed with
main facilities while the second one is being carried out through capital
contributed by organisations and individuals.

The picturesque scenery of Hoa Binh Lake has endowed its tourism site with a unique allure. In recent years, localities have been harnessing the potential of the lake area and domestic and international tourists have chosen the site for sightseeing and leisure journeys.
The Hoa Binh Lake tourism area is expected to become a national tourism site by 2030, focusing on developing synchronous and modern technical facilities, and high-quality and branded tourism products imbued with national cultural identities. The tourist site also aims to become the largest tourist centre in the province, and one of 12 key tourist areas in the Northern midland and mountainous region
On April 5th, in Hoa Binh city, the Tourism Association of Hoa Binh province and Tourism Association of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province jointly organized a conference to promote cooperation and tourism development. There was the attendance of Mr. Nguyen Van Toan, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
