North Central Coast, Coastal administrative region in central Vietnam
The North Central Coast is a coastal region in central Vietnam stretching along the South China Sea and encompassing six provinces. Mountain ranges, valleys, and beaches shape the varied landscape throughout this area.
The region contains remnants of the Sa Huỳnh culture and the Champa civilization, which shaped architecture and traditions over many centuries. These historical layers remain visible in local buildings and customs today.
Local communities express their traditions through regional festivals and traditional crafts that blend Vietnamese and Cham influences. This cultural mix shapes how villages look and how people live their daily lives.
The region connects to other areas via National Route 1, the North-South Railway, and international airports in Da Nang and Phu Bai. Getting around within this region is easiest by using these main transport corridors and airports.
Three UNESCO World Heritage Sites lie within this region: Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park, the Complex of Huế Monuments, and the Citadel of the Hồ Dynasty. These three places draw visitors interested in exploring both natural and cultural treasures.
