On April 17th, Hoa Binh Provincial Museum organized a program to promote and introduce the outstanding values of "Hoa Binh Culture” at the Boarding Secondary and High School for ethnic minority students in Mai Chau District.


The museum’s officials provided a wealth of information about the "Hoa Binh Culture” to the students of the Boarding Secondary and High School.

During the program, the officials from the Provincial Museum shared the valuable insights about "Hoa Binh Culture”. Thí is a prehistoric archaeological culture from the Stone Age, which is famous not only in Vietnam but it also is influential in many Southeast Asian countries. Dating back approximately 30,000 to 7,500 years ago, "Hoa Binh Culture” serves as the evidence of the long-standing history and rich cultural traditions of Hoa Binh people.

In Mai Chau District, there are currently five archaeological sites associated with the "Hoa Binh Culture”: Khau Puc Cave (also known as Thoc Giong Cave), Dan Dua Rock Shelter, Phung Quyen Rock Shelter, Lang Cave and Khoai Cave. Among them, Lang Cave (recognized as a national heritage site in 2005) and Khoai Cave (recognized in 1997) are considered the most representative.

The results of archaeological research and excavations in Mai Chau have provided important materials for the history education and have helped clarify the natural and social development process of "Hoa Binh Culture.” These findings also serve as a foundation for the locality to develop the unique cultural-archaeological tourism products that cater to the needs of visitors, students and researchers.

Through the program, the students gained a deeper understanding of the cultural roots of the nation, helping to foster a sense of responsibility in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage, and contributing to spreading the love for the homeland and the country throughout the community.
