(HBO) – Different from empty streets on the Lunar New Year’s Eve, from the third day of the first lunar month, tourist and spiritual sites in Hoa Binh province have attracted crowds who want to enjoy the Tet holiday and pray for a happy new year. As a result, the roads leading to tourist sites, pagodas and temples are crowded with people and vehicles. Many people have complied with COVID-19 prevention and control regulations such as wearing masks and disinfecting hands with sanitisers. However, due to the large number of people gathered, it is difficult to keep a distance, thus posing a latent risk of infection.
People visiting Dau Rong Mountain tourist area and Bong Lai
temple in Cao Phong town (Cao Phong district) wear masks and disinfect hands
with sanitisers.

Below are some images captured by Hoa Binh Newspaper reporters in Hoa Binh City and some districts in the province.
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.
In his 14 years as the leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong visited Hoa Binh province three times. Each locality, unit, and enterprise visited by the General Secretary, and every household and wounded soldier kindly encouraged and given gifts by the late leader always remember and deeply keep in their mind the feelings of their beloved leader.
