Bắc Ninh, Provincial capital in Red River Delta, Vietnam

Bắc Ninh spreads across 82 square kilometers of land, maintaining both urban development in its center and agricultural activities in surrounding districts.

The French military forces captured this northern Vietnamese settlement in March 1884 during their campaign against the Black Flag Army resistance.

The region produces Quan họ folk music, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage, and contains multiple craft villages specializing in woodcuts and pottery.

Regular bus connections operate between Hanoi and Bắc Ninh, with the journey covering 35 kilometers through the northeastern transportation corridor.

The educational legacy of Bắc Ninh reflects in its historical contribution of 25 percent of Vietnam's doctorate degree holders during certain periods.
