As a favourite destination for anglers, Hoa Binh
reservoir has dazzled the piscators for its untouched beauty and the
magnificence of the Hoa Binh hydropower plant – the so-called "century project”
in Vietnam. Dang Viet Trung from Buon Ma Thuot city, Dak Lak
province, who has fished for 18 years said that he loves fishing and always
finds new destinations to conquer challenges.
He has gone fishing in many places; however, the
trip to Hoa Binh has left lasting impression on his mind. "like many locals in the Central Highlands, I
find it amazing to visit the Hoa Binh hydropower plant and fish at the Hoa Binh
Lake,” he said.
Besides stunning landscapes, Hoa Binh Lake
boasts various kinds of specialty fish, he said, adding fishing on the lake is
an interesting experience for lure anglers who mostly target snakehead fish.
Unlike Trung and those from the Central
Highlands who set foot in Hoa Binh province for the first time, Kim Son from
Vinh Phuc come to the locality for several times to fish at Hoa Binh Lake.
He said he feels much happier with wild-caught
fish than farmed one. Son successfully landed giant catfish and
yellowcheek of up to 5 kilogrammes. He added that Hoa Binh’s organisation of the
fishing contest helps connect anglers nationwide, while giving them a chance to
enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Hoa Binh Lake as well as discover the standout
cultural traits of local ethnics.
All of the anglers expect to have an opportunity
to take part in the fishing contest at the Hoa Binh Lake. Together with spiritual and community-based
tourism, fishing is a unique tourism offering that helps attract visitors to
Hoa Binh province.
In recent years, Mai Ha commune in Mai Chau district has been making efforts to restructure its crops and livestock to improve production efficiency, enhance the quality of life, and increase income for local residents. Notably, the cultivation of watermelon in line with Vietnamese Goods Agricultural Practices (VietGAP) standards has helped local people escape poverty.
Hoa Binh province scored 43.5493 points in the 2023 Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI), ranking 20th out of the 63 provinces and cities nationwide, up 23 places compared to the 2022 list. The results show people's satisfaction with the effectiveness of implementing State policies and laws, local governance, and providing public services by authorities at all levels in the province.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
