Nam Định, Provincial city in Red River Delta, Vietnam

Nam Định spans across 46 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 5 meters, featuring a network of canals and waterways throughout the urban landscape.

The city establishment dates back to October 17, 1921, when it became an administrative center during the French colonial period in northern Vietnam.

Nam Định maintains multiple temples and pagodas that represent Vietnamese Buddhist traditions, including structures from the Ly and Tran dynasties periods.

The city connects to Hanoi through National Highway 10 and regular train services, making it accessible for both business travelers and tourists.

Nam Định produces specific rice cakes called Bánh Gậy, which differ from other Vietnamese rice-based foods through their cylindrical shape and preparation method.
