Cao Bằng is a province of northeastern Vietnam.
[edit] GeographyCao Bằng Province is centered on the town of Cao Bằng itself. It is located in the far north of the country. It borders the provinces of Hà Giang, Tuyên Quang, Bắc Kạn, and Lạng Sơn, as well as the province of Guangxi in the People’s Republic of China. Most of Cao Bằng Province is mountainous, with only a small amount of habitable land. Much of the province is heavily forested. The average temperature in the province is 22°C, but in winter, certain areas may sometimes become cold enough to receive snow. The Bản Giốc Waterfall is one of the province’s best known natural features. [edit] AdministrationCao Bằng Province is divided into one city (Cao Bằng) and twelve districts:
[edit] EconomyCao Bằng is relatively poor compared to other Vietnamese provinces. Most of the province's economy is centered around agriculture and forestry, although other industries exist. Facilities such as schools and hospitals tend to be in poor condition, but are gradually improving. Transportation, once a major problem, has been improved considerably by new road construction. [edit] DemographicsThe province of Cao Bằng is home to many people belonging to Vietnam's ethnic minority groups. The most notable of these are the Tày, Nung, Dao, and Hmong. [edit] HistoryCao Bằng's proximity to China has meant that it has had a somewhat turbulent history, having changed hands a number of times. Later, the province became an important center of nationalist activity after Vietnam was conquered by the French, with many pro-independence groups basing themselves in the mountains. The Communist Party of Vietnam also chose the province as a base, using the rough terrain as protection. [edit] External links
