(HBO) – On these days, the construction of the cultural and sports center of Tan Vinh Commune (Luong Son) is in the finishing stage. The cultural house with capacity of 150 seats has been built. The entrance and the floating stage are under construction.

The cultural works of Tan Vinh Commune (Luong
Son) are in the finishing stage, meeting the new rural area criteria.
In 3 years (2014 - 2016), the system of
cultural facilities of Nhuan Trach commune was built and financed by various
sources of capital. In particular, the commune cultural house of 600 m2, with
the capacity of over 300 seats was invested 4.5 billion VND from the integrated
capital of the district. The commune stadium is 9,000 square meters in size and
was invested 1.7 billion VND from the government bond and the district budget.
In 2016, the sports center serving children and elderly people was built with
the provincial reward fund. In addition, with the motto of the State and people
working together, from the capital to build new rural area, the commune budget,
the local people contribute, the enterprises support, there have been mobilized
over 644 million VND to build new, upgrade and repair culture houses and sport
fields in villages and hamlets to meet the standards as prescribed, meeting the
needs of community activities of the people.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hang, the Head of District
Culture and Communication Board, said that: Up to now, 13 out of 19 communes in
the district have reached the criteria of cultural facilities. The remaining
communes did not meet the criteria, mainly due to budget constraints. This is
one of the difficult criteria of the district in implementing new rural area.
Through the study and implementation of the
criteria, the communes in the district have reserved land, planned the center
cultural and sports center areas to ensure the area according to regulations.
Along with the public land area of the commune, the people voluntarily donate
land to serve the construction work. However, the construction investment
sources are large, mainly depended on the invested capital in the program and
district budget, so the communes can not take the initiative by themselves. The
investment can not be concentrated at a time so it must be dilated every year,
prioritizing investment in the communes planning to achieve the target of new
rural area.
In addition, there are 178 out of 184 village
culture houses, reaching 96.7%.
Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
The most prominent and defining feature in the prehistoric era of Hoa Binh is the Hoa Binh Culture. The Culture was first discovered in Hoa Binh. The significant prehistoric culture represents not only Vietnam but also Southeast Asia and southern China. Through excavations of cave sites in the limestone regions of Hoa Binh, French archaeologist M. Colani introduced the world to a "Stone Age in Hoa Binh province – Northern Vietnam" in 1927. On January 30, 1932, the First Congress of Far Eastern Prehistorians, held in Hanoi, officially recognised the Hoa Binh Culture.
Known as the "Land of Epic History”, Hoa Binh province, the gateway to Vietnam’s northwest, boasts a strategic location and a unique cultural tapestry woven by its ethnic minority communities.
The People's Committee of Luong Son District recently held a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Sau Communal House in Thanh Cao Commune as a provincial-level historical and cultural site.
Recognising the importance of cultural heritage preservation in protecting and promoting the value system of Vietnamese culture, and serving socio-economic development in the new period, Party committees and local administrations in Hoa Binh province have identified it as a key task in the cultural development strategy. The province has been making efforts in mobilising resources, creating consensus among people and engaging ethnic communities in preserving and promoting cultural identity.
Hoa Binh province has captured growing attention both domestically and internationally for its distinctive cultural heritage and rich history. Most notably, it has been renowned for its famous Hoa Binh culture, considered the cradle of ancient Vietnamese civilisation. Looking ahead to significant milestones in 2025 and the 140th anniversary of province establishment in 2026, Hoa Binh Newspaper presents a comprehensive overview of the province's development across economic, social, cultural, tourism, and security domains.
