In addition to the main exhibition, Cao Bang also dedicated a 30m² outdoor space to introduce cuisine and intangible cultural heritage.

Cultural identity in exhibition space

Here, visitors can enjoy local specialties, witness Tay artists performing Then and Tinh instruments, watch brocade weaving, and experience wearing traditional costumes.

OCOP products associated with tourism such as honey, dong vermicelli, Chongqing chestnuts, etc. are displayed, both as cultural characteristics and as evidence of economic development efforts associated with local identity.

That cultural space has turned the exhibition into a place to introduce the province's achievements and is like a miniature festival, where the spirit of Cao Bang is sent to domestic and international friends.

Gateway advantage of border economic zones

Strategically located, Cao Bang is an important gateway for trade between Vietnam and Guangxi (China). With the Tra Linh (Vietnam) - Long Bang (China) international border gate pair, along with many secondary border gates and openings, the province has a special advantage in import and export, especially agricultural products.

The Dong Dang - Tra Linh expressway project, when completed, will strongly connect Cao Bang with the ASEAN - China economic corridor, opening the door to the Central Asian and European markets.

In the planning, adding two more pairs of international border gates Ly Van (Vietnam) - Thac Long (China) and Ta Lung (Vietnam) - Thuy Khau (China) will further strengthen the position of trade centers.

This advantage helps Cao Bang become a "border area" and an important link in the international trade chain, where the flow of goods, services and investment opportunities converge.

New look after 80 years

If Pac Bo is a symbol of origin, then Cao Bang city today is a testament to change. In recent years, the province has promoted investment in urban infrastructure, trade, services and tourism.

Inner-city roads are upgraded, new urban areas are formed, and the system of hotels, restaurants, and entertainment areas is developed synchronously.

Tourism has become a key industry with famous destinations such as Ban Gioc Waterfall, Nguom Ngao Cave, Thang Hen Lake, Pac Bo Relic Site. In particular, Non Nuoc Cao Bang UNESCO Global Geopark has raised the local image to the world.

Cao Bang city is gradually becoming a dynamic, civilized and modern urban area, an attractive destination for tourists and a happy place to live for the people.

The core point in Cao Bang’s 80-year development journey is “taking the people as the root”. From the difficult days in Pac Bo, the people’s strength created the revolution. Today, the people’s hearts continue to be the source of building happiness.

This exhibition once again tells the story of the past and also affirms: Cao Bang will continue to develop with its identity, from the people's hearts and for the people's happiness. That is the path for the border region to firmly enter the new era, contributing to building a strong and prosperous Vietnam.

From the source of revolutionary history to today's development journey, Cao Bang has demonstrated the courage to overcome difficulties, the desire for change and the steadfastness with the goal of "happiness from the people's hearts".

80 years is not only a commemorative milestone but also a new beginning for Cao Bang to continue writing its development story, the story of a borderland that is both rich in tradition and full of aspirations to integrate and reach out to the world.
