Sơn Động

Sơn Động is a rural district in Bắc Giang covering mountainous terrain with scattered villages and agricultural fields. The landscape consists of rolling hills and valley settlements spread across the district.

The district became an administrative part of Bắc Giang Province in 1955 following postwar reorganization in northern Vietnam. This change reshaped local governance structures in the region.

Multiple ethnic minority groups live in the district and keep their customs alive through festivals and everyday farming practices. Visitors can see these traditions reflected in how people work the land and celebrate together.

National highways link the district to Hanoi and other cities with regular transport services available throughout the area. Plan ahead for local travel as distances between villages can be significant.

The district borders the Khe Rỗ Primitive Forest, one of the oldest forested areas in the northeast. This forest is home to rare plant and animal species found nowhere else in the surrounding region.
