(HBO) - At the end of July, communes in Yen Thuy district enthusiastically took part in the first contest for model residential areas and advanced new-style rural communes, which was held by the district’s Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee and socio-political organisations. Other districts also held similar contest in line with the schedule set by the provincial VFF Committee.
Residents in Dan Chu ward’s
group 13 participate in a model named "civilised streets, garbage-free
residential areas".
Vice Chairman of the provincial VFF Committee Dang Bich Ngoc
said the contest contributed to promoting and improving the effectiveness of
the campaign "All people unite to build new rural area, urban civilisation"
sponsored by the VFF. On April 8, 2016, the provincial Party Committee issued
Directive No. 13-CT/TU on strengthening the Party's leadership over the campaign.
Thanks to concerted efforts from both the political system and
the people, local rural and urban areas have been given a facelift. During the 10
years implementing new-style rural building, locals have donated 109.72 billion
VND (4.7 million USD), over 2.4 million working days, over 979,000 m2 of land,
and more than 2.3 trillion VND worth of materials and machines.
The province has formed large-scale concentrated production
areas and consolidated the brand names of many products such as Hoa Binh purple
sugarcane, Cao Phong orange, Tan Lac red pomelo, Son Thuy longan, Da river
fish, and Lac Thuy goat.
The province is home to 500 production models and 22 value
chains. A large number of models in residential areas have been built,
replicated, and promoted effectively. They included the "civilised streets,
garbage-free residential areas" model in Hoa Binh city; and the "residential
areas self-managing environmental sanitation and promoting mutual support for
economic development” in Tan Lac district.
As of June 2020, there were 53 communes recognized as
new-style rural areas and 39 residential areas meeting standards for model
new-style rural areas./.
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.
