Vietnam
Vietnam is 329,566 km2 and stretches over 1,600 km along the eastern coast of the Indochina Peninsula. It's a country of breathtaking beauty and geographical diversity, divided into three main regions: Bac Po in the north, Trung Bo in the centre and Nam Bo in the south. The northern part of Vietnam consists mostly of mountains, forests and the Red River Delta. The centre is composed of agricultural plains located between the Trong Son Mountains and the China Sea, giving spectacular views of the ocean from the summits. The Mekong Delta dominates the south of the country.
