Doan Ket commune of Yen Thuy district has recently held a ceremony to receive a certificate recognising Ta communal house as a provincial-level historical and cultural relic site.
A leader of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism presents
the certificate recognising Ta communal house as a provincial-level historical
and cultural relic site to Doan Ket commune.
The Ta communal house used to be located in Ta
village, Yen Thi commune, Lang Phong canton, Nho Quan district, Ninh Binh province,
so the local people named the relic after the village. After many changes in
administrative boundaries, the communal house is still called Ta communal
house, and currently located in Thanh Binh hamlet, Doan Ket commune, Yen Thuy
district of Hoa Binh province.
Currently, the Ta Communal House Festival is
held annually on the 10th and 11th days of the first lunar month. On the 1st
and 15th days of each lunar month, villagers prepare offerings and go to the
communal house to pray for luck and peace.
The Ta Communal House was originally built with
bamboo and thatched roof. Around 1925, the communal house was renovated with
ironwood, covering an area of 40 sq.m, with a J-shaped architecture. Currently,
it has a total planned area of over 2,000sq.m, built with bricks and roofed
with tiles. The communal house still preserves antiques such as incense bowls,
palanquins, swords, gongs, and parasols.
With its values and research results, it was
recognised by the provincial People's Committee as a provincial-level
historical and cultural relic site on February 11, 2025. The recognition not
only preserves the good cultural values of the nation's belief in worshipping
gods and village guardian spirits, but also contributes to building an advanced
Vietnamese culture imbued with national identity.
To make tourism a key economic sector, Da Bac district has focused on investing in infrastructure, diversifying tourism products, and enhancing promotion efforts to create breakthroughs in developing the smokeless industry.
As the new year begins and festive spirit fills the air, visitors flock to Hoa Binh lake, often dubbed the "Ha Long Bay on land," to enjoy its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere. In spring, the lake comes alive with lush greenery and delicate blossoms, while boats carrying eager tourists glide across its tranquil waters.
With effective business operations, significant increases in the number of visitors at weekends and on public holidays, and being listed among the 71 most beautiful places to visit worldwide by the prestigious US travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller, Hoa Binh’s tourism is "spreading its wings" on its journey towards the targets of welcoming 4.9 million visitors, including 1 million foreigners, and achieving total tourism revenue of 5.4 trillion VND (211.89 million USD) in 2025.
On February 21, the Provincial People's Committee held a conference to implement the tourism plan in 2025 and meet with tourism businesses operating in the province. The event was chaired by Mr. Nguyen Van Toan, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee and the Head of the Provincial Tourism Steering Committee.
Tien Pagoda is located in the valley of Lao Noi and Lao Ngoai villages, Phu Nghia commune, Lac Thuy district; it is surrounded by two mountain ranges stretching like two giant dragons reaching for the blue sky. Every year, when spring comes, thousands of Buddhists and tourists from all over the country make a pilgrimage to Tien Pagoda. The relic complex of Tien Pagoda is ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism with 21 relic sites of many types: historical and cultural relics, scenic relics, and archaeological relics.
Cao Phong has paid due attention to developing tourism, creating impetus for socio-economic development towards completing the targets set in the resolution of the district’s 28th Party Congress for the 2020-2025 tenure.
