(HBO) – The Hoa Binh People’s Committee issued Document 841/UBND-KGVX on June 1 regarding the approval of building dossiers for three local intangible cultural heritages proposed to be named on the national list of their kind.

They are the Khai Ha traditional festival and the bamboo calendar of the Muong ethnic group; and the Keeng Loong dance of the Thai ethnic group in Mai Chau district.
