million USD), the nearly-34km, two-lane expressway starts from Hoa Binh’s Da
Bac to Chieng Yen commune, Van Ho district, Son La province. This is the first
expressway constructed in Hoa Binh.
The project holds special significance, as it is expected to

large. Once completed, the expressway will connect the transportation network
of Hoa Binh with Son La and Hanoi capital to form a key expressway axis linking
the Northwest region with the northern key economic zone.

Forty years ago, while searching for a new site for settlement of their Dao ethnic community, a group of young men, including Trieu Luc Tin stumbled upon a small valley in Ba Ra village. Boasting fertile land and abundant water sources, this area was also a place where many birds chose to nest. Without hesitation, these men traversed the forest to bring their families to settle their life there. From an abandoned land, Ba Ra has now become a prosperous and peaceful village in Hung Tien commune, Kim Boi district.
