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.
Hoa Binh province’s rich natural and cultural resources position it as a prime location for developing community-based tourism (CBT). In recent years, support from central and provincial policies, as well as assistance from non-governmental organisations, have encouraged local ethnic minority and mountainous communities to actively engage in the sector.
Van Son Commune, Tan Lạc district, Hoa Binh province also known as "Cloud Valley," boasts a cool climate, stunning natural landscapes, and majestic scenery. Visitors who have been to this place should make a stop at Chien Hamlet to experience a lot of fascinating things and feel the friendly, warmth of the Muong ethnic people.
Thanks to the effective exploitation of natural landscape and the cultural diversity of ethnic minorities, Hoa Binh province has become an attractive destination for tourists seeking experiences and exploration.
The Department of Cultural Heritage has just coordinated with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hoa Binh province to organize a training on implementing the model of the cultural heritage connected in the cultural tourism journey in Cao Phong and Lac Son districts.
The Sung village in Cao Son commune, Da Bac district, is endowed with pristine natural landscape, and Dao Tien ethnic minority community in the village preserves rich cultural heritage, including traditional housing, clothing, language, scripts, customs, and daily life practices. Since the community-based tourism model was introduced in the locality, these traditional cultural values have been further preserved and promoted.
