in Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district.
Exhibits and research products of 100 scientists are displayed at the museum.
Each object carries its own message, reflecting a part of the scientist’s past
as well as the historical context of each period.
At a stall showcasing exhibits of Vietnamese education before and after the
August Revolution 1945, there are special objects about a generation of
Vietnamese students during the French colonial period, such as a learning
report of "Thanh Nam prodigy" Pham Dong Dien who later
became Professor Pham Dong Dien, Rector of Hanoi University of Science
and Technology-one of the figures assigned by the Ministry of
National Defence to research weapons serving the resistance war against the
French.
Exhibits, pictures and research works of outstanding scientists in the field of
medicine are also displayed at the exhibition. They include a scalpel and a
photo of student Pham Van Phuc, later Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Phuc who
performed the surgery in which the patient was soldier La Van Cau, a hero of
the People's Armed Forces during the 1950 Border Campaign.
Visitors can also learn about the research work of four persons who are
considered as "four pillars" of Vietnamese medicine in the resistance
war. They are Professor Ton That Tung (a street in Hanoi is named after him);
Prof. Dang Van Chung, Prof. Chu Van Tuong and Prof. Dinh Van Thang.
A draft of the book "small and large surgery on the liver” published by
Paris-based Masson Publishing House is displayed at a solemn site at the
park. The draft consists of 216 pages, handwritten and typed by Prof. Ton
That Tung in French. The book has been praised by the world’s surgeons.
Professor Tung's method of liver resection is also known as "Ton That Tung
method".
Not only displaying and introducing achievements in medicine, mathematics,
biology and geology, the park also creates a highlight with special objects of
the subsidy period. Models of old apartments with things of the period such as
bicycles, and coupons to buy goods and rice give visitors a better
understanding of the past of the country.
After spending a full day visiting and experiencing the heritage park, Nguyen
Minh Duc, a tourist from Hanoi said that given its geographical location and
archived research works, thepark is really a suitable place for relaxing
as well as for organising events, seminarsand organizing life skills
education classes for the young generation./.
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.
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.
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.
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.
