Briefly introducing about the land that you may know

Vietnam is a unique and fascinating part of the world with a huge variety of beautiful landscapes, a very rich culture and a history that stretches back over more than 4000 years. Vietnam extends across a strip of land between the deltas of two large rivers, the Song Hong (Red River) in the North and the Mekong in the South. In the West the Truong Son (Long Mountains) create a natural border with Laos and Cambodia. These highlands consist of a series of connected plateaus and reach an altitude of just under a mile above sea level. The highest peak in Vietnam is Fan Si Pan (1.95 miles) in the North West. The coastal land in the East is very fertile and has beautiful beaches surrounded by palm trees. Vietnam also has countless islands. Nearly all of Vietnam has tropical vegetation with mangrove forests along the coast and tropical rainforests further inland. The majority of the lowland has been deforested for farmland, particularly for growing rice. The fauna includes tigers, panthers, wild buffalo, deer, elephants, apes, reptiles and numerous species of birds.

The purpose of this thread is to create a new place for sharing and introducing the beauty of Vietnam's landscape and it's open to all members with at least one photo per post.

My photos about Vung Tau - One of the most beautiful coastal cities in Vietnam
Location: Vung Tau city, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province

Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu is a province of Vietnam. It is located on the coast of the country's southeastern region. It also includes the Côn Đảo islands, located some distance off Vietnam's southeastern coast. From 1954 to 1975, this province belonged to South Vietnam.

Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu is divided into six districts:
Châu Đức
Côn Đảo (National Park)
Đất Đỏ
Long Điền
Tân Thành
Xuyên Mộc

The town of Bà Rịa is a separate municipality, as is the city of Vũng Tàu.

The White Palace

Originally a summer palace for the French conquerors, the White Palace has seen its fair share of history, from later Vietnamese leaders occupying the space to exiled Thai leaders being placed under house arrest. Outside, a long row of cannons emphasises the sweeping view of the bay and its strategically important placement
