Most of the alleyways and streets in the area have been concreted through the "State and People working together" method, creating a modern appearance, promoting the development of services and tourism , and attracting visitors.

Besides investing in infrastructure, the ward also pays special attention to developing tourism associated with heritage preservation. The formation of community tourism tours, spiritual tourism, and resort tourism at historical sites, gardens, village communal houses, and natural landscapes such as the Perfume River, Kim Phung Mountain, Huyen Khong Son Thuong, and the Ve Nguon ecological tourist area... is gradually making Kim Long an attractive destination in Hue .

Notably, these include the development of a synchronous and modern urban infrastructure; tourism and services linked to cultural heritage; administrative reform linked to digital transformation; and the construction of schools meeting national standards.

Hoang Phuoc Nhat, Secretary of the Party Committee of Hoang Phuoc Ward, shared that the current central task is to maximize the advantages of heritage and traditional culture to transform them into sustainable economic drivers.

In fact, the ward has been actively promoting large-scale projects: the Kim Long and Huong An new urban areas, the Long Ho 1-2 urban area, the Khe Ngang Lake cultural tourism area, the Long Ho golf course project, the Hue Spirit Sanctuary resort...

According to Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Committee of Dong Sy Toan Ward: Kim Long is prioritizing economic development based on the structure of "Tourism - services - trade; small-scale handicrafts - agriculture". The ward encourages residents to develop garden tourism and community tourism in traditional craft villages such as Kim Long cake and jam making, Luu Bao rice paper making, and eco-tourism areas like Kim Phung Mountain and Hon Vuon...

Alongside this is a strong digital transformation strategy: developing digital government and the digital economy, promoting online public services to improve the efficiency of management, administration, and service to the people; and building a smart, safe, and convenient living environment.

In the field of education, Kim Long aims to have 80-90% of its schools meet national standards by 2030. Regarding social welfare, the ward strives to eliminate poverty; achieve an average per capita income of 5,500-6,000 USD/year; ensure 99.8% of residents participate in health insurance, and over 30% of the workforce participates in social insurance.

“Besides investment programs, Kim Long focuses on preserving and promoting the cultural identity of Hue – which makes this region a ‘brand.’ The moral values, family traditions, etiquette, love of learning, and hospitality of the people of Kim Long are considered important foundations for building a civilized urban lifestyle and developing well-rounded individuals,” emphasized Hoang Phuoc Nhat, Secretary of the Party Committee of the ward.

Kim Long also demonstrates strong political determination in Party building and strengthening the political system. For the next term, the ward aims to recruit 36-40 new Party members per year; and ensure that 80% of Party organizations, members, and the Party Committee successfully complete their tasks or better.
