Bình Phước, Administrative province in southeastern Vietnam
Bình Phước is an administrative unit in southeastern Vietnam that stretches across wide plains and gentle hills, consisting mainly of farmland and forested areas. The capital Đồng Xoài sits centrally and connects the eleven districts through a network of roads running through villages and plantations.
After the reunification of the country in 1976, former administrative areas were merged into Sông Bé before this unit was transformed into its current form in 1997. The founding followed a nationwide reform of administrative boundaries that reorganized several regions in the south.
The area is known for its cashew plantations, which shape the land during harvest season and are processed in small workshops. Several minority groups have lived here for generations and maintain their languages and traditional celebrations, which visitors can experience during market visits.
The best travel period falls during the dry months between November and April, when roads are easier to navigate and outdoor activities become more comfortable. Buses connect the capital with surrounding districts, with early departures offering more flexibility for day trips.
Rubber plantations cover large parts of the landscape and workers tap the bark early in the morning to collect latex in cups. Coffee plants grow under tall shade trees, while pepper vines climb wooden poles and are laid out in the sun to dry after harvest.
