Bắc Kạn, Mountainous province in northeastern Vietnam.
The province encompasses 4,859 square kilometers of forested terrain, featuring limestone formations, numerous rivers, and Ba Be Lake within its boundaries.
The province played a crucial role during the resistance against French colonization in the 1940s, leading to its liberation in 1949.
The region maintains traditions of eight ethnic groups, including the Tay and Hmong people, who contribute to local festivals and crafts.
National Road 3 connects the province to Hanoi, with regular bus services operating daily and a journey time of approximately three hours.
Ninety-five percent of Bac Kan's territory consists of forests, making it one of the most densely forested provinces in Vietnam.
