Hòa Bình, Mountainous province in northern Vietnam.
The province extends across 4,590 square kilometers of mountains and valleys, bordered by Phu Tho to the north and Ninh Binh to the south.
French colonial authorities established the territory as Muong Province in 1886, later renaming it to Hoa Binh in 1891 to reflect administrative changes.
The region maintains deep connections to multiple ethnic groups, with the Muong people representing 64 percent of the local population, followed by Vietnamese at 25 percent.
National highways connect the province to Hanoi, with regular bus services operating between major towns and the ability to reach Kim Boi hot springs within 30 kilometers.
The Hoa Binh Dam on the Da River generated hydroelectric power as Southeast Asia's largest facility of its kind upon completion in 1979.
