Bạc Liêu, Provincial city in Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Located 195 kilometers northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, Bac Lieu stands as the administrative center of its province with 156,110 residents recorded in 2019.

The area changed from its former name Vinh Loi and emerged as a religious center for the Hoa Hao movement during the 1950s under Huynh Phu So.

The name Bac Lieu derives from the Chinese pronunciation of the Khmer name Pol Leav, reflecting the multicultural influences in this Vietnamese region.

The city maintains essential facilities including a hospital and commercial airport while supporting industries such as rice farming, fishing, and salt production.

Traditional music form Vong Co originated in Bac Lieu around 1918, establishing the city as a birthplace of southern Vietnamese musical heritage.
