(HBO) - Recently, the movement of turning waste collection areas and weed paths into "flowering sections" have been actively implemented by the Women's Union of Mai Chau district.

Over the past few years, in order to promote
the role of staff and women members in protecting environment and building the
green- clean- beautiful scenes, the District Women's Union has launched a
campaign "Every woman member planted a flower". The first model was
implemented from January 2018, until now, the whole district had 13/23 communes
and towns implementing the campaign.
On these days, the 730- meter road leading
from National Highway 15 into Na Sai village, Chieng Chau commune is like
wearing a new more brilliant coat by being prominent between two rice fields
with a colorful road in a variety of flower species, such as butterfly wings,
white flowers, violet flowers, etc. These are all flowers with good vitality,
easy to grow, easy to care, and they can bloom all around the year and in
accordance with the cultural identity of the site. Many groups and women's
unions activities have been flexible, creative and supported by local
committees, local authorities and enthusiastic participation of local people,
such as they plant flowers at the sections where they often waste garbage,
causing bad appearance and environmental pollution.
Ms Ha Thi Yen – the Chairwoman of Chieng Chau
Commune Women's Union said: "Right after the district Women's Union
launched the movement" Every woman member planted a tree", Chieng
Chau Commune Women's Union quickly deployed to each branch, each members of the
whole commune and received the active response of most members participating.
Some contributed their efforts, some contributed their money to purchase flower
seedlings, etc., so far, the commune has built two long "flowering
roads" in Na Sai hamlet and Lac village, while in other hamlets, women
have planted around their houses and around the area of the cultural houses of
the village."
Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
The most prominent and defining feature in the prehistoric era of Hoa Binh is the Hoa Binh Culture. The Culture was first discovered in Hoa Binh. The significant prehistoric culture represents not only Vietnam but also Southeast Asia and southern China. Through excavations of cave sites in the limestone regions of Hoa Binh, French archaeologist M. Colani introduced the world to a "Stone Age in Hoa Binh province – Northern Vietnam" in 1927. On January 30, 1932, the First Congress of Far Eastern Prehistorians, held in Hanoi, officially recognised the Hoa Binh Culture.
Known as the "Land of Epic History”, Hoa Binh province, the gateway to Vietnam’s northwest, boasts a strategic location and a unique cultural tapestry woven by its ethnic minority communities.
The People's Committee of Luong Son District recently held a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Sau Communal House in Thanh Cao Commune as a provincial-level historical and cultural site.
Recognising the importance of cultural heritage preservation in protecting and promoting the value system of Vietnamese culture, and serving socio-economic development in the new period, Party committees and local administrations in Hoa Binh province have identified it as a key task in the cultural development strategy. The province has been making efforts in mobilising resources, creating consensus among people and engaging ethnic communities in preserving and promoting cultural identity.
Hoa Binh province has captured growing attention both domestically and internationally for its distinctive cultural heritage and rich history. Most notably, it has been renowned for its famous Hoa Binh culture, considered the cradle of ancient Vietnamese civilisation. Looking ahead to significant milestones in 2025 and the 140th anniversary of province establishment in 2026, Hoa Binh Newspaper presents a comprehensive overview of the province's development across economic, social, cultural, tourism, and security domains.
