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.
