Geography and topography
The Socialist Republic of Việt Nam is located on the
eastern rim of the Indochina pensinsula in the South East
Asian intertropical monsoon zone.
The country is 1,650 kilometres long from north to south
and comprises a total land area of over 330,000 square
kilometres, with a coastline of 3,260 kilometres and an
inland border area of 3,730 kilometres. Its width ranges from 600 kilometres in the north
and 400 kilometres in the south to just 50 kilometres at its narrowest point on the north
central coast.
More than three quarters of Việt Nam's territory comprises mountains and hills. Four
distinct mountainous zones may be identified - the Tây Bắc (north west), the Đông Bắc
or Việt Bắc (north east), the northern Trường Sơn zone in north-central Việt Nam and
the southern Trường Sơn zone in the south-central region. The country has two major
river deltas - the Red River Delta (Đồng bằng Châu thổ Sông Hồng) in the north and the
Mekong Delta (Đồng bằng Châu thổ Sông Cửu Long) in the south.
Việt Nam is bordered to the north by China, to the west by Laos and Cambodia and to
the east by the Pacific Ocean.
