The District 5 People's Committee held a ceremony on April 26 on Nguyen Trai Street in Disitrict 5 of Ho Chi Minh City to launch the Fashion Street.

At the launching ceremony

Fashion Street of District 5 on Nguyen Trai Street is formed naturally based on the shopping habits of the people. From a few clothing and footwear shops, the street has gradually become a hub for many fashion shops, attracting a large number of business people, especially over the national holidays.

Fashion Street of District 5 has a favorable location due to its proximity to Nguyen Trai Street which is one of the important roads connecting District 1, District 5 and District 6.

The street has a length of nearly 2 kilometres, while it is 10m wide and boasts pavements 3-5m wide. It begins at Nguyen Van Cu, passing through Tran Phu intersection, Nguyen Duy Duong in the area of District 5’s four wards: ward 2, ward 3, ward 7, and ward 8.

The street hosts more than 200 shops with various products: clothing, footwear, bags, hats, and glasses.

The launch of the Fashion Street will help District 5 to promote and develop tourism services in the district, while also rearranging the business households, and improving the order of urban and environmental sanitation in the district.

Bringing art to remote areas - promoting ethnic culture

Hoa Binh city - Vibrant community activities at cultural houses

Building a cultural conservation area for Muong ethnic group in Luy Ai hamlet

Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province, is widely regarded as the cultural heartland of the Muong ethnic group. Among its many traditional communities, Luy Ai hamlet (formerly Ai hamlet) stands out as a rare location where the customs and way of life of the Muong Bi people remain largely intact.

Truong Kha temple festival celebrates Muong cultural heritage

The Truong Kha temple festival, a distinctive cultural event held every three years in Vu Ban township, Lac Son district, returned recently with vibrant rituals and folk traditions of the Muong people. Located next to the Buoi River in the Muong Trao fields, the Truong Kha Temple is dedicated to the three Kun Dol deities, revered for teaching farming techniques, irrigation, weaving, and protecting the harvest.

Hoa Binh city residents enjoy upgraded cultural houses

The demand for spaces serving community activities of residents in various areas across Hoa Binh city has been satisfied as local cultural houses now feature modern, spacious facilities thanks to the effective implementation of Resolution No. 49/NQ-HDND issued on December 28, 2021 by the city People's Council, which approved the plan for reorganising, converting, and allocating land for the construction, repair, and expansion of cultural houses in Hoa Binh’s villages and residential areas until 2025.

Enhancing cultural and spiritual life in remote and ethnic minority areas

At the end of May, the Hoa Binh Provincial Ethnic Arts Troupe organized a series of performances for residents in Region 2 and Region 3 communes across the province. Bringing art to ethnic communities in remote, isolated, and especially disadvantaged areas has become a meaningful activity. These are not merely artistic performances but also journeys to disseminate cultural values, enrich spiritual life, and contribute to preserving the cultural identity of ethnic minorities.
