From a once modest mountainous town along the Da river, Hoa Binh city has now donned a "new coat.” Central roads have been expanded and upgraded, while new urban areas have been developed in a synchronized manner. A series of completed eco-tourism and resort projects in operation further enhance the charm of this riverside city.
In January 2025, Hoa Binh city was
officially recognized as a Class II urban area - an important milestone that
reflects the tireless efforts of the city’s Party Committee, government and
people in realizing the aspiration of building a "more dignified and beautiful”
homeland.
In line with the national policy on
streamlining the administrative apparatus, from July 1, 2025, there will no
longer be district-level administrative units within the city. Hoa Binh will
always be a source of pride, deeply etched in the hearts of its people. This photo collection captures the
beauty and unforgettable moments of our beloved Hoa Binh city.
