(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./.
During the two days of November 14th – 15th, at the Provincial Cultural Palace, the Department of Industry and Trade organized a conference to connect the product consumption of the ethnic minorities and the mountainous areas in 2024. There was the attendance of the representatives of leaders of a number of departments, branches, businesses, manufacturers and distributors inside and outside the province.
The One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme is reshaping the rural economy of Lac Son district, helping improve living standards, particularly among the ethnic minority communities in remote areas of Lac Son district.
The Van Mai dam xanh (Bangana lemassoni) fish has long been famous for its unique and delicious flavour, earning a spot on the menus of many restaurants and attracting food connoisseurs. In recent years, residents in Van Mai commune, Mai Chau district, have expanded their fish farming areas and striven to build a strong reputation for their product. They are also working to establish it as an OCOP (One Commune, One Product) item to increase their income.
Outstanding rural industrial products of Hoa Binh province in 2024 were recently honoured and granted certificates, becoming a source of pride for producers and also a boost for local economic development. The honourees are all deeply imbued with the local cultural identity and boast considerable commercial potential, helping popularise the image of Hoa Binh to domestic and international consumers. This is also a solid stepping stone for rural industrial establishments to develop.
In the first 10 months of 2024, Hoa Binh city made significant progress in job creation and labour exports, sending 112 workers abroad through partnerships with authorised recruitment firms.
An award ceremony to announce the official certification for Mai Chau district’s Bangana lemassoni fish, a specialty of the locality because of its unique flavour, was held recently in the district.
