Quảng Ngãi

Quảng Ngãi is a coastal province in central Vietnam that stretches from the South China Sea westward to the mountain ranges bordering neighboring territories. The region covers plains, river valleys, offshore islands including Ly Son, and highland areas rising above 2,500 feet (770 meters).

The Sa Huynh culture built settlements here thousands of years ago, with archaeological remains found in Duc Pho District documenting ancient coastal communities. The Long Wall fortification was raised in the early 1800s to protect trade routes and strengthen ties between local groups.

The province contains the Long Wall fortification, constructed in the early 1800s to strengthen relationships between Vietnamese and H're communities while supporting regional commerce.

National Route 1 and the North-South railway cross the territory, providing overland links to neighboring regions. The Dung Quat Economic Zone sits near the coast and contains Vietnam's first oil refinery.

The Tra Khuc River begins above 2,500 feet (770 meters) in the western highlands and descends through valleys to the coastal lowlands. Its course has shaped settlement patterns in the region for centuries.
