Geographic Facts

Vietnam’s long, slender shape, often likened to a dragon, stretches over a thousand miles from north to south and encompasses a variety of landscapes that will captivate visitors from the US, UK, Australia and other countries.
In the north, the rugged mountains around Sapa are home to Vietnam’s highest peak, Fansipan, and terraced rice paddies cascade down hill slopes, a testament to the country’s agricultural heritage.
Central Vietnam is famed for its stunning coastline, featuring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Halong Bay, where thousands of limestone karsts and isles rise from the turquoise waters. Travelers will be enthralled by the historic imperial city of Hue, and the charming ancient town of Hoi An, whose well-preserved architecture reflects a cultural fusion of local and foreign influences.
The south brings the lushness of the Mekong Delta, an intricate network of rivers and swamps, which serves as the ‘Rice Bowl’ of Vietnam. Here, life revolves around the water, and markets, villages, and farms float upon the vast deltas and rivers. This region’s geography contributes to its rich biodiversity and status as a vital hub for Vietnam’s agriculture and aquaculture.
