Vụ Bản, Rural district in Nam Định, Vietnam.
Vụ Bản is a rural district in the Red River Delta region of Nam Định province, situated at about 5 meters above sea level. The area spreads across flat terrain with roads and connections linking it to surrounding towns and cities.
The district received its present name in 1861 under Emperor Tự Đức and has maintained stable boundaries since the 18th century. This long continuity reflects its established role within the region's administrative organization.
The Vân Cát temple serves as a spiritual center where locals gather for traditional ceremonies and religious observances throughout the year. These practices shape how residents connect with their community and express their beliefs.
The area is easily reached through a network of provincial roads and highways connecting to larger urban centers. Visitors should expect flat terrain and can use local transportation options to move around within the district.
The area is known for two distinctive food specialties: Siuchau candy made with white rice, malt, peanuts, sesame, and banana oil, plus a regional pho made with buffalo meat. These dishes represent local culinary skills and regional flavor traditions that have developed over time.
