Bắc Giang, Province in northern Vietnam.
Bắc Giang is a province in northern Vietnam that extends across hilly countryside and is mostly covered by forested mountains. The area sits within the Red River Delta and includes both farmland and protected zones with dense vegetation.
This region existed as a governed territory during the Hong Bang era under the Hùng kings. In the late 19th century, it was established as a separate administrative unit after splitting from neighboring territories.
Market squares in smaller towns often display baskets filled with fresh pineapples and lychees that orchard farmers here have grown for generations. In rural areas, houses often stand between plantations, and during harvest season the air smells of ripe fruit.
Several highways and rail links pass through the area, connecting larger towns with the capital and border crossings. Travelers find accommodations in main towns and can use buses or taxis to reach smaller communities.
A large primeval forest lies within its borders and protects many rare plant and animal species under a dense canopy. Few visitors explore this remote woodland zone, which has remained largely untouched.
