Yên Bái, Northern mountainous province in Vietnam.
The province encompasses 6,899 square kilometers of mountains and valleys, with an elevation of 841 meters above sea level in the Dong Bac region.
French colonizers established formal control of Yen Bai on April 11, 1900, following a military occupation that began in 1891.
Multiple ethnic groups, including Kinh, Tay, Dao, and Hmong communities, maintain their distinct traditions throughout the nine administrative districts.
Travelers can reach Yen Bai by train in five hours from Hanoi, with tickets starting at 4 USD for the 200-kilometer journey.
Between May and June, the water-filled rice terraces create natural mirrors across the mountainsides, reflecting the sky and surrounding peaks.
