(HBO) - Hoa Binh city is striving to become a modern and civilised urban area along the Da River, a worth-living place for local residents.
From having only one main traffic axis of the old National
Highway 6, now An Duong Vuong street, the city now has a complete traffic
system, creating remarkable changes in its appearance which astonished not only
outsiders but locals as well.

Nguyen Tien Hai, a retiree residing in Phuong Lam ward, said that locals are
proud to be citizens of the city when talking to their friends, relatives and
tourists.
Many streets and resident areas have been upgraded and become civilized, clean
and beautiful urban areas. Commercial centres and streets are bustling even at
night. More modern residential buildings have been built. People can enjoy high
quality healthcare, cultural and educational services. More capital is being
poured into urban infrastructure, industrial parks and clusters, urban areas
and trade buildings, creating new momentum for the city’s urban, trade and
service development.
In accordance with a National Assembly’s resolution, Hoa Binh city was expanded
by merging with the entire Ky Son district. It has achieved remarkable results
in mobilising resources for infrastructure investment, socio-economic
development and investment attraction. The city has always been in the
province’s top group in terms of State budget collection and poverty
reduction.
Hoa Binh city is coordinating with relevant agencies in designing an overall
planning for the city's development until 2045, which eyes development along
both sides of the Da River which is associated with roads, service facilities,
restaurants, hotels, electricity, lighting, and drainage systems. The city will
also attract investment in expanding commercial and tourist urban areas along
the Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh expressway.
The city will develop high-quality tourism and services in association with
festivals, craft villages and traditional cultural activities. Attention will
be paid to the construction of important traffic routes including Hoa Lac - Hoa
Binh and Hoa Binh - Moc Chau expressways; a road connecting Tran Hung Dao
street to Dan Chu ward; national highway 6 and national highway 70B, urban
riverside housing projects, golf courses, commercial services, restaurants and
hotels systems./.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.

A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
