About Northern Vietnam
There are quite considerable differences between the mountainous and delta areas in Northern Vietnam. The mountainous provinces bordering China have dramatic landscape, such as pristine subtropical forests, rice terraces and tea plantations. These provinces are less developed, with fewer industries and more ethnic groups. Notable tourist attractions areHa GiangandSa Pa. The lowland and delta areas were traditionally farming areas, but the pronvinces around Hanoi (Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen, Vinh Phuc, Hung Yen, and Hai Duong) are now largely industrialized. Toward the South China Sea areHa Long Baywith hundreds of limestone karsts and caves, andHai Phong, a major port and the third largest city in Vietnam.
