HOA BINH MAP

"On to Hoa Binh! It is getting hilly now and the views are beautiful! Rice fields and rice fields and everything so green! And so warm! We see beautiful landscapes and climb and descend a bit. I take it easy. I didn't have enough coffee this morning, so I can't expect everything from that body, I didn't train a lot in this busy spring. After 80 kilometers of cycling we finally arrive in Hoa Binh, a decent city. Everyone sits on a chair outside. They are selling things they are cooking and eating with whole families."  

Map of the city

Centrum van de stad

          Map of Hoa Binh - is very easy to compare with the photo below. We see the river, the streets, the bridge, the (new) television tower and the lake on the right. Hoa Binh province currently consists of one city and ten districts (see the map of the province).
Driving through the insecure but picturesque mountain passes is an exciting way to explore the beautiful countryside, and for those with the strength and endurance, cycling is another ideal way to see the sights of Hoa Binh province.

Hoa Binh is the province of many ethnic minorities. The 7 main minorities are: the Muong, the Thai, the Tay, the Dao, the Mong, the Chinese and the Kinh. Each ethnic minority has been able to maintain its own unique culture. In total there are about 800,000, of which the Muong account for about 63%. The province is mountainous and caves have been formed, such as Thac Bo cave, Ret cave and Hoa Tien cave. There is a pristine rainforest "Pu Nooc", where adventurous tourists can climb, hike, hunt or swim in natural springs. Man and nature have formed the dreamy Da River to further develop tourism.
