Vietnam is on the east coast of Asia, bordered on the west by Laos and Cambodia and on the north by China. The South China Sea is the country’s border to the south and the east.
Vietnam is extremely hilly, consisting of large number of mountains and hills. Flat land makes up no more than one fifth of the country. The mountains are forested densely; over three quarters of the country is made up of forests.
Among 64 provinces in Vietnam are five major provinces, which we will spend the majority of our time on here. These include Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, Da Nang, and Hai Phong.
