night. More modern residential buildings have been built. People can enjoy high
quality healthcare, cultural and educational services. More capital is being
poured into urban infrastructure, industrial parks and clusters, urban areas
and trade buildings, creating new momentum for the city’s urban, trade and
service development.
In accordance with a National Assembly’s resolution, Hoa Binh city was expanded
by merging with the entire Ky Son district. It has achieved remarkable results
in mobilising resources for infrastructure investment, socio-economic
development and investment attraction. The city has always been in the
province’s top group in terms of State budget collection and poverty
reduction.
Hoa Binh city is coordinating with relevant agencies in designing an overall
planning for the city's development until 2045, which eyes development along
both sides of the Da River which is associated with roads, service facilities,
restaurants, hotels, electricity, lighting, and drainage systems. The city will
also attract investment in expanding commercial and tourist urban areas along
the Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh expressway.
The city will develop high-quality tourism and services in association with
festivals, craft villages and traditional cultural activities. Attention will
be paid to the construction of important traffic routes including Hoa Lac - Hoa
Binh and Hoa Binh - Moc Chau expressways; a road connecting Tran Hung Dao
street to Dan Chu ward; national highway 6 and national highway 70B, urban
riverside housing projects, golf courses, commercial services, restaurants and

The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
