Hải Dương, Province in Red River Delta, Vietnam

Located between Hanoi and Haiphong, Hai Duong province extends across 1,668 square kilometers of fertile lowlands in northern Vietnam's Red River Delta region.

The province, established in 1831 under the name Thanh Dong, served as a strategic location during resistance movements against colonial powers in the 20th century.

Local communities maintain traditional practices through festivals, Buddhist ceremonies, and ancestor worship, while producing regional specialties like mung bean cakes.

The province connects to major urban centers through National Highways 5, 18, 183, and 37, with regular train services linking to Hanoi and Haiphong.

Despite its name meaning 'ocean sun' in Sino-Vietnamese, Hai Duong remains landlocked and stands as one of Vietnam's main lychee cultivation regions.
