Lake.
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.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
