Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu

Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu province stretches along the East China Sea coastline, encompassing eight administrative districts and the Con Dao archipelago within its territory.

The region functioned as vital trading ports since ancient times, later becoming a French colonial territory in the 17th century before separating from Dong Nai Province in 1992.

The capital city Vung Tau maintains maritime traditions through regular celebrations of the Whale Festival and fishing ceremonies across its four principal beaches.

Travelers can reach the province from Ho Chi Minh City within two hours by car, with public buses providing regular connections throughout the eight administrative districts.

The province houses the Cai Mep-Thi Vai port complex, managing large international shipments while maintaining petroleum extraction facilities that supply national energy demands.
