(HBO) - Heroic people and heroic land are what the village elders in Mong Hoa commune (Hoa Binh city) refer to when talking about the old victories in the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists. Since then, the land of Mong Hoa has put on a "new coat" of prosperity and happiness, and people's lives have been improved both materially and spiritually.
Infrastructure of Mong Hoa commune (Hoa Binh city)
is upgraded with all roads concretised, meeting the travel demand of the
residents.
Arriving at Mong Hoa today, we clearly recognise the change in its appearance
from the sprouting up of industrial parks and factories to spacious concrete
roads and big houses.
Mong Hoa commune has been merged from Mong Hoa (former) and Dan Hoa communes.
These are the two localities that have completed the new-style rural areas

socio-economic development. In particular, industry-handicrafts and trade -
services fields are gradually becoming strengths of the locality.

livestock and over 1,800 pigs. In particular, there are about 45 beekeeping
households which collect thousands of liters of honey per year, worth nearly 1
billion VND (943,750 USD) a year.
Strolling on the concrete road from the gate of Du Phuong village to other
hamlets, it is easy for everyone to feel that people here have benefited from
practical values from the new-style rural building construction programme.

community houses and each village has one that people can gather for community
activities. All schools meet national standards and 100 percent of
households access to the electricity.
