Ba Vì

Ba Vì is a rural district in Hanoi encompassing a large area with two artificial lakes and scattered villages surrounded by farmland and hills. The landscape features green terrain with settlements distributed throughout, connected by roads that pass through the region.

The district formed in 1968 from the merging of three former territories into a single administrative unit. This reorganization consolidated previously separate regions into the current district structure.

Multiple ethnic communities, including Kinh, Muong, and Dao peoples, shape daily life through their local celebrations and craft traditions visible in village settings. This diversity appears in markets and in how residents build and decorate their homes.

A main highway connects the region to neighboring provinces through the central town, making it accessible for visitors. The rural setting means facilities and attractions are spread out, so planning ahead helps make the most of a visit.

The region serves as a major dairy production hub with many farms supplying milk to the wider country. This specialized farming activity shapes both the landscape and the local economy.
