(HBO) – The master planning for the development of Hoa Binh Lake National Tourism Site in Hoa Binh towards 2030 was approved by the Prime Minister in Decision 1528/QD-TTg on August 1, 2016. It is an important foundation and motivation for making component plans and projects in order to promote the value of Hoa Binh Lake as well as the province’s socio-economic development.
Hoa Binh Lake boasts
the beauty of water and mountain, which is expected to become an attractive
tourist site.
Currently, the site has 16 projects on service, culture and
tourism that have received licences or investment certificates. Covering a
total area of about 1,444 hectares, the projects have combined investment of
over 3.3 billion VND. They aim to provide tourism, accommodation and
entertainment services to visitors, while planting and protecting the forest
and the culture of ethnic minority groups.
Along with the projects, over the years, Hoa Binh has
implemented tourism infrastructure projects as well as those to preserve the
culture of ethnic minority groups in the site, including projects to develop
tourism infrastructure in Da River, Mo 2 village in Binh Thanh commune, Cao
Phong district, and another to restore and develop Thac Bo temple. The road
from Hoa Binh city to Thung Nai commune has also been built.
The master planning focuses on four major areas, creating an
effect in investment of other tourism sites in the region and the province. At
the same time, the planning also gives development orientation for the urban
system and rural residential areas in association with tourism expansion, along
with a system of tourism support sites.
Meanwhile, it also sketches out the growth of social
infrastructure system serving tourism development as well as the development of
architecture and decoration for the site./.

Spanning thousands of hectares and winding gracefully along mountain slopes, hillsides, and riverbanks, the terraced rice fields of Lac Son District present a stunning and captivating beauty. This region, renowned for its remarkable terraced landscapes, is also the centre of Hoa Binh Culture known for numerous archaeological sites.
The life of Mong people in Hang Kia and Pa Co communes of Mai Chau district has improved much thanks to tourism development.
The man-made Hoa Binh Lake, with a water surface area of approximately 9,000 hectares and a capacity of 9.45 billion cubic meters, stretches over 200 kilometers from Hoa Binh to Son La provinces. With the goal of developing into a national tourism area, the Hoa Binh Lake tourism area is expected to not only become the largest tourism centre in the province but also one of the 12 key tourist destinations in the northern midland and mountainous region of Vietnam.
Da Bia hamlet, now Duc Phong, in Tien Phong commune, Da Bac district, was once almost isolated from the outside as the only way to the hamlet was to get a boat ride across the Hoa Binh reservoir. However, as its tourism potential has been unleashed, the hamlet has established itself as one of the most attractive destinations on the tourism map. It has even received the ASEAN Community-Based Tourism Awards in 2019.
