Thread: Location & Geography Guide

haped like an elongated S, Vietnam stretches the length of the Indochinese Peninsula and covers a surface area of 128,000 square miles--making it roughly the size of Italy or, in the U.S., New Mexico. China lies to the north, Laos and Cambodia to the west, and the South China Sea to the east.Topographically, Vietnam is a verdant tapestry of soaring mountains, fertile deltas, primeval forests inhabited by exotic fauna, sinuous rivers, mysterious caves, otherworldly rock formations, and heavenly waterfalls and beaches. Beyond nature, the curious and open-minded visitor will find in Vietnam a feast of culture and history.

For convenience, the country can be thought of as comprising three unique areas: north, central, and south. The north is known for its alpine peaks, the Red River Delta, the plains of Cao Bang and Vinh Yen, enchanting Halong Bay, and historic Hanoi, as well as for the diversity of its ethnolinguistic minorities.

thank you for share it
welcome to vietnam and welcome to myforum

I visit the link and found a lot of good things. Thanks for sharing a very helpful guide...

The Republic of Kenya straddles the equator; indeed it is almost bisected by it. Its land area of 582,644 square kilometers is roughly the size of France. Almost all of the country is scenic. Within its borders lies a world in microcosm, containing almost every known landform from glacial ice to arid desert, mountain massifs to rich savannahs, large lakes and dense forests.

Variations in altitude are extreme and so too are the contrasts in climate. The country, which shares common borders with five nations - Tanzania to the south, Uganda in the west, Sudan and Ethiopia in the north and Somalia in the east - is shaped like a harp. Its boundaries have scant regard for ethnic considerations, and are the result of the sharing out of 'spheres of influence' by the European powers in the 17th century.
