HBO - On March 13 afternoon, a working delegation from the Hoa Binh provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism held a working session with Cao Phong district to review local development of culture, sports, tourism and family affairs.
Last year, State management on culture, sports, tourism and
family affairs in Cao Phong district proved effective with good communication
campaigns on political tasks and celebrations of the country’s major festivals.
Cultural, art and sport campaigns became widespread and the campaigns "All
people stay united to build cultural life” and "All people take physical exercises
following the example of great Uncle Ho” attracted large participants from all
walks of life.
Last year, Cao Phong district recorded 8,503 out of
11,112 households meeting cultural family
standards, 80 out of 120 villages and residential areas and 90 out of 100
agencies, businesses and schools winning the title. Cultural practices in weddings,
funerals and festivals were maintained while traditional festivals were held
solemnly without superstition and other social vices. Cao Phong district is
home to spiritual tourism destinations such as Bo temple in Thung Nai commune,
Khanh pagoda in Yen Thuong commune, Bong Lai temple and Dau Rong (Dragon’s
Head) mountain in Cao Phong township, attracting crowds of visitors.
The delegation spoke highly of the district’s achievements
in cultural, sports, tourism and family affairs development over the past
years. They asked Cao Phong to continue stepping up popularisation of the
Party’s directions, State policies and laws, and provide guidance and organize
the implementation of those documents, while pushing forward the new rural area
building campaign, and the building of cultural and sport institutions from the
district to grassroots level for stronger development of cultural, sports,
tourism and family affairs.
Boasting diverse terrain, a mild climate, and rich natural resources, Cao Phong district is increasingly asserting its place on Vietnam’s tourism map, attracting both domestic and foreign visitors. The district is renowned for its stunning landscapes, majestic mountains, a crystal-clear hydropower lake, and the unique cultural identity of local ethnic groups.
With its pristine landscapes, unique cultural heritage of Muong ethnic minority, and an expanding range of visitor experiences, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh has fast become a captivating destination for both domestic and international tourists.
Until now, Sung village in Cao Son commune, Da Bac district remains the only Dao ethnic community in Hoa Binh province to develop a community-based tourism model. Beyond its untouched natural landscapes, cultural identity serves as the cornerstone attraction for visitors.
Alongside the diverse cultural identities of the Kinh, Muong, Tay, Thai, Dao, and Mong ethnic people, Hoa Binh province is also renowned as the "capital" of the northwestern Vietnamese cuisine, offering unique and distinctive dishes. At festivals, during Lunar New Year (Tet), or on significant family or community occasions, special dishes are prepared, leaving a lasting impression on visitors.
A Phong Linh (Yellow Tabebuia) flower garden in Thang village, Thach Yen commune, Cao Phong district is currently in full bloom, drawing a large number of visitors.
Community-based tourism has been thriving in Pa Co commune, Mai Chau district thanks to advantages in natural landscape and cultural identity.
