As a favourite destination for anglers, Hoa Binh
reservoir has dazzled the piscators for its untouched beauty and the
magnificence of the Hoa Binh hydropower plant – the so-called "century project”
in Vietnam. Dang Viet Trung from Buon Ma Thuot city, Dak Lak
province, who has fished for 18 years said that he loves fishing and always
finds new destinations to conquer challenges.
He has gone fishing in many places; however, the
trip to Hoa Binh has left lasting impression on his mind. "like many locals in the Central Highlands, I
find it amazing to visit the Hoa Binh hydropower plant and fish at the Hoa Binh
Lake,” he said.
Besides stunning landscapes, Hoa Binh Lake
boasts various kinds of specialty fish, he said, adding fishing on the lake is
an interesting experience for lure anglers who mostly target snakehead fish.
Unlike Trung and those from the Central
Highlands who set foot in Hoa Binh province for the first time, Kim Son from
Vinh Phuc come to the locality for several times to fish at Hoa Binh Lake.
He said he feels much happier with wild-caught
fish than farmed one. Son successfully landed giant catfish and
yellowcheek of up to 5 kilogrammes. He added that Hoa Binh’s organisation of the
fishing contest helps connect anglers nationwide, while giving them a chance to
enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Hoa Binh Lake as well as discover the standout
cultural traits of local ethnics.
All of the anglers expect to have an opportunity
to take part in the fishing contest at the Hoa Binh Lake. Together with spiritual and community-based
tourism, fishing is a unique tourism offering that helps attract visitors to
Hoa Binh province.
On May 15, the Hoa Binh Steering Committee for Science, Technology, Innovation, and Digital Transformation launched the "Digital Literacy for All” movement. The event was held both in-person and virtually, connecting provincial authorities with district-level Party committees and local communities across communes, wards, and townships.
The People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province on May 16 held a conference to honour outstanding intellectuals for their contributions in 2025.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has held a conference to announce the provincial Party Committee’s decision about the merger of Hoa Binh Newspaper and the provincial Radio and Television Station, along with the Standing Board’s appointment decisions.
After the historic victory on April 30, 1975, which liberated the South and reunified the country, the whole Vietnam embarked on a new mission — promoting peace and reconstructing the nation with century-defining projects. On the fierce Da River, over 30,000 engineers, sappers, and construction workers battled against rocky mountains and raging floods to achieve a remarkable feat. The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia at that time, officially began generating electricity, lighting up the North and ushering in a new era of industrialisation.
Muong Dong in Kim Boi district, one of the four major Muong regions in Hoa Binh province, is harnessing its revolutionary legacy and cultural heritage to drive socio-economic transformation.
Throughout April, the joyful atmosphere of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification spread nationwide. Together with the whole country, residents in Hoa Binh city also expressed their patriotism through meaningful and practical actions.
