Lạng Sơn, Northern province at Vietnam-China border
The province of Lang Son spans across 8,310 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, with limestone formations and valleys reaching elevations up to 1,541 meters at Mount Mau Son.
The province was established in 1831 under Emperor Minh Mang and became a critical location during conflicts between Vietnamese forces and French colonial troops in the late 19th century.
The region contains seven ethnic groups including Nung, Tay, Kinh, Dao, Hoa, San Chay, and Hmong populations, each maintaining their specific traditions and languages.
Two international border gates, Dong Dang and Huu Nghi, connect Vietnam with China through both road and rail networks, facilitating trade between the two nations.
The Tam Thanh and Nhi Thanh caves feature Buddhist altars within their natural limestone formations, combining religious significance with geological structures.
