The special-use forest of Tan Trao, covering more than 4,000 hectares, is not only the “green lung” of the former revolutionary base but also an emerging eco-tourism destination thanks to its pristine landscape and rich biodiversity. According to the Forest Protection Unit of Zone I, Tan Trao is home to 734 plant species belonging to 456 genera and 143 families, including 26 species listed in Vietnam’s Red Book such as Tau mat, Giao co lam, and Sen mat. Its fauna is equally diverse, with 33 mammal species, including the masked palm civet, small-toothed palm civet, wildcat, tufted flying squirrel, and pygmy slow loris - clear signs that the forest’s natural structure remains well preserved.

At the recent discussion session of the 10th sitting of the 15th National Assembly, held within the framework of the National Target Program on Healthcare, Population and Development for 2026-2035, many deputies emphasized that what people expect is not merely a new program, but a more progressive mindset toward health - one that helps Vietnamese citizens not only live longer but live longer in good health, with quality and contribution.

In recent years, environmental awareness among local communities across the province has steadily improved, reflected in the widespread practice of household-level waste collection, sorting, and treatment. From simple actions such as sweeping village roads to joining community-based self-management groups, residents are actively contributing to creating cleaner, greener, and safer living spaces.

Following the motto of “three closenesses, four togethers,” Pho Bang Border Guard Station has intensified coordination with Party committees and local authorities to promote the dissemination and education of legal regulations among officials and residents in border areas. Through diverse measures and forms tailored to the specific conditions of each locality and unit, the station has achieved notable results.

Responding to the ‘Clean Sunday’ campaign and the movement to build ‘5 no’s, 3 clean’s’ families, the Women’s Union branch of Hamlet 1A Thong Nhat (Yen Phu Commune) has maintained a 250-meter flower road. Members also regularly sweep, collect waste, trim plants, and eliminate ‘black spots’ of garbage to keep the area bright, green, and beautiful.

Chang Lo Village in Thang Mo Commune was once among the most disadvantaged areas along the border. Local life revolved around maize fields clinging to rocky slopes, with a single annual crop entirely dependent on the weather. More than a decade ago, poor transportation, a shortage of clean water, and a lack of community facilities left the village’s 125 households from the H’mong, Pu Peo, Han, Co Lao, and Giay ethnic groups struggling daily.

Recognizing that science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation are decisive and essential drivers of development in the new period, the provincial government is accelerating efforts to universalize digital knowledge and skills among the population.

When night falls over the mist-covered mountain slopes, the community hall of Coc Mui Ha Village in Thang Tin Commune lights up with lamps and open notebooks. In the most remote part of the commune, the literacy class takes place regularly, becoming a source of knowledge where the calloused hands of farmers continue their unfinished dreams. With the dedication of teachers, local officials, Border Guard soldiers, and the effort of each learner, the light of education is nurturing hope for sustainable development in the border region.

In the chilly winter air, the atmosphere in Ha Giang 2 Ward, Tuyen Quang Province becomes unexpectedly warm, kindled by the fire of compassion. From early morning, families and community groups gather together, washing leaves, rinsing rice, and preparing 1,000 vividly green banh chung gu. These are not merely traditional cakes - they are bundles of love and hope sent to the people of the Central and Central Highlands regions who are struggling to overcome the aftermath of historic flooding.

Some suns do not shine from above, yet radiate brightly within imperfect forms. In the villages of the Tay, Dao, and H’mong people in Tuyen Quang, people with disabilities are redefining what it means to be whole. Wholeness does not lie in the body, but in the will to rise and the aspiration to live meaningfully.

Located atop the Gia Long mountain range, Xin Man Commune faces rugged terrain and severe cold, with winter temperatures consistently lower than surrounding areas. In such harsh conditions, ensuring students’ health becomes a priority.

Tuyen Quang, endowed with abundant natural resources, especially surface and groundwater, is facing unprecedented challenges due to rapid economic development and the increasing impacts of climate change. The province’s river and stream systems are under pressure as extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall, disrupt the water cycle and water quality.

As cold weather intensifies in northern provinces, many areas are experiencing severe cold waves, posing significant challenges for agricultural production, particularly livestock farming.

On October 7, 2025, the People’s Committee of Tuyen Quang issued Decision No. 800/QD-UBND, marking the launch of the province’s digital government gramework 4.0. This initiative represents a significant step forward in Tuyen Quang's digital transformation, with a clear focus on building an integrated, modern, and efficient digital government.
