Yen Bai's bright spot in its modernization journey.

Suoi Giang commune, Van Chan district, Yen Bai province, has made efforts to leverage the power of technology, becoming a typical model of digital transformation, not only contributing to improving the lives of the people but also opening up new directions for other localities in the province.

The digital transformation journey in Suoi Giang

Before implementing digital transformation, Suoi Giang was a mountainous commune with limited infrastructure. Only 5 out of 7 villages had mobile phone coverage, and 4 out of 7 villages had fiber optic internet coverage. Community awareness of digital technology was low, and the use of modern solutions such as cashless payments and online sales was almost non-existent.

With the determination of the local government and the close guidance of the provincial leadership, Suoi Giang has gradually overcome difficulties and built a sustainable foundation for digital transformation. To date, 100% of villages in Suoi Giang have 4G coverage and fiber optic internet. Village cultural centers have been equipped with internet access, providing a digital space for the people. Three Wi-Fi marketing hotspots have been deployed to support e-commerce and online activities.

Outstanding applications in digital transformation

Suoi Giang has implemented digital transformation solutions tailored to local conditions. One of the outstanding initiatives is the smart traceability solution for Shan Tuyet tea products. This system helps to transparently provide product information down to each individual tea plant, building trust with customers. Tourists visiting Suoi Giang can directly check the origin of the tea products.

Farmers in Suoi Giang commune, Van Chan district, are bringing their agricultural products to e-commerce platforms.

In addition, the "digital homestay" tourism model has been implemented, helping accommodation establishments in Suoi Giang apply digital platforms to promote and manage their services. From using the "Vietnam Tourism" app to guiding cashless payment methods, Suoi Giang is gradually building the image of a modern, friendly, and professional destination.

Local residents are also encouraged to install applications such as VneID and Yen Bai-S to access online public services. Local cooperatives and businesses have implemented cashless payment acceptance, facilitating trade and tourism transactions.

Some results

The biggest change that digital transformation has brought to Suoi Giang is the change in awareness and action. Previously, the commune leaders didn't dare to think that Suoi Giang could undergo digital transformation, but now the government and people understand the benefits that technology brings.

Digital transformation solutions have contributed to improving management efficiency, promoting socio-economic development, and helping Suoi Giang build a strong brand, especially for its Shan Tuyet tea product. Local tourism has also been elevated to a new level as more and more domestic and international tourists come to Suoi Giang to experience and explore.

Beyond just economic benefits, digital transformation also helps revive traditional cultural values. Technological applications have brought people's daily lives into the digital space, creating connections and preserving the unique cultural values ​​of the Mong ethnic group.

In the coming period, Suoi Giang aims to continue improving the quality of digital transformation solutions. Yen Bai province will expand the smart traceability model for Shan Tuyet tea products, installing more sensor devices to monitor the environment. At the same time, the commune will gather and digitize the cultural values ​​of the Mong people, transforming them into unique tourism products to attract tourists.

Furthermore, Suoi Giang also aims to build a digital economy community, creating a space for people to share experiences and knowledge about digital transformation. Online channels such as websites and mobile applications will be upgraded to better serve both locals and tourists.

The journey of Suoi Giang is not only a success story for Yen Bai province, but also a source of inspiration for many other localities across the country.

Suoi Giang is gradually asserting its pioneering role in digital transformation, becoming a symbol of innovation and sustainability in socio-economic development. This is not only a source of pride for Yen Bai but also a testament to the power of technology in changing community life.
