(HBO) - Inaugurated in 2016, Hoa Binh square in Hoa Binh city of the province of the same name has become a favourite playground of both children and adults. Many people come to the site at dusk and in the evening to jog, ride bicycles and stroll. Youngsters sometimes play music for dancing and hip hop practice, livening up the atmosphere.
Hoa Binh square
becomes a favourite playground of children.
The square,
also known as Quynh Lam multi-purpose complex, was constructed to mark 130
years of the province’s establishment and 25 years of its re-establishment.
Recalling
the period when the complex was being built, an architect took part in the
project said it is a construction work of political, architectural and cultural
significance, creating a highlight for Hoa Binh city’s urban landscape. It
bears both modern and traditional cultural features, including the gong
cultural space of the Muong ethnic minority people.
The centre
of the rostrum is a symbol of six main groups residing in the province, namely
Muong, Thai, Kinh, Tay, Dao and Mong. The symbol contains six pillars similar
to the frame of a stilt wooden house of the ethnic groups as well as the
character "Person” in Chinese language. An image of a reformed version Muong
gong is placed in a square-shaped flower background.
Hoa Binh
square has lightened up local people’s lives. Everyone coming to the site is
aware of maintaining the landscape and environment./.
Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
