(HBO) - Inaugurated in 2016, Hoa Binh square in Hoa Binh city of the province of the same name has become a favourite playground of both children and adults. Many people come to the site at dusk and in the evening to jog, ride bicycles and stroll. Youngsters sometimes play music for dancing and hip hop practice, livening up the atmosphere.

Hoa Binh square becomes a favourite playground of children.

The square, also known as Quynh Lam multi-purpose complex, was constructed to mark 130 years of the province’s establishment and 25 years of its re-establishment.

Recalling the period when the complex was being built, an architect took part in the project said it is a construction work of political, architectural and cultural significance, creating a highlight for Hoa Binh city’s urban landscape. It bears both modern and traditional cultural features, including the gong cultural space of the Muong ethnic minority people.

The centre of the rostrum is a symbol of six main groups residing in the province, namely Muong, Thai, Kinh, Tay, Dao and Mong. The symbol contains six pillars similar to the frame of a stilt wooden house of the ethnic groups as well as the character "Person” in Chinese language. An image of a reformed version Muong gong is placed in a square-shaped flower background.

Hoa Binh square has lightened up local people’s lives. Everyone coming to the site is aware of maintaining the landscape and environment./.
