Apart
from flood control, electricity generation, irrigation and water transport, the
Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant is a popular tourist attraction, particularly crowded
during July and August when the floodgates are opened.
But people haven’t seen water discharge to Da River in
the last four years. That’s why when the opening of the sluice gates was
decided; the dam has been thronged with people who want to witness the
magnificence of the dam as large columns of water poured into Da River.

People are waiting to see
the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant open the floodgates.
White, aggressive columns
of water remind people of used-to-be raging Da River…
In spite of the aggressive
water flow, Da River banks look peaceful and beautiful in at night.
However, authority should
advise people to be careful and stay away from restricted areas.

Over the past three decades, Cao Phong town has leveraged its spirit of unity, dynamism, and creativity to utilise opportunities and overcome challenges, leaving significant milestones in economic and social development. The town has made substantial progress in various sectors while maintaining national defence and security.
Since the passing of Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on July 19, offices and private houses in Hoa Binh city have flown flags half-mast to commemorate the Party chief.
After 30 years since its establishment (August 1st, 1994 - August 1st, 2024), Cao Phong town has made significant progress, from a mountainous agricultural town facing many difficulties to becoming the political, economic and social center of the district, aiming to build a civilized, modern urban area, which is rich in the cultural identity.
