Lạng Sơn, Provincial capital city in northern Vietnam
The city extends across valleys and hills, connecting Vietnam with China through the Friendship Gate and serving as the northernmost point of National Route 1.
The area became a French military base in 1885 and experienced multiple conflicts, including battles during World War II and the Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979.
The population includes eight ethnic groups - Kinh, Tày, Nùng, Hoa, Dao, Mường, Sán Dìu, and Sán Chỉ - each maintaining their traditions and customs.
Located 137 kilometers from Hanoi, the city provides transportation options via train and bus services, with journey times ranging between 4 and 5 hours.
