Here are the records from Hoa Binh newspaper’s reporters:
Nestled halfway up the mountains in Cao Son commune, Da Bac district, Sung village appears like a picture preserved intact through generations. With a history of over 300 years, the village is home to nearly 100 households of Dao Tien ethnic group – the people who still maintain their distinctive characteristics in housing architecture, clothing, customs and traditional crafts. The village is drawing increasing interest and exploration from both domestic and international tourists, as every visit becomes a cultural journey to experience the authenticity, friendliness, and hospitality of this highland region.
This Spring, more than 1,000 phoenix trees in Thang Hamlet, Thach Yen Commune (Cao Phong) have bloomed brilliantly, quickly spreading on social media. The picturesque beauty of the flower garden has attracted the participation of many people to admire and take photos.
This belief is both a guiding principle and a lifelong ambition for Sa Van Cam, a member of the Tay ethnic group in Da Bac district and a passionate advocate for the Tay culture. The native has devoted years to the revival, preservation, and teaching of the ancient Tay script.
