Red River Delta, River delta region in northern Vietnam.

The Red River Delta spans 15,000 square kilometers and contains agricultural lands, cities, waterways, and dense settlements across the northern Vietnamese lowlands.

The Red River Delta region became a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2004, marking international recognition of its ecological and environmental importance.

Traditional craft villages throughout the delta preserve ancient techniques of silk production, woodworking, and pottery making that define Vietnamese artisanal heritage.

The delta region includes eight provinces and two municipalities, with Hanoi and Haiphong serving as major transportation and economic centers.

This region supports 22 million inhabitants on just 5% of Vietnam's total land area, making it the most densely populated delta in the country.
