Bac Ninh Has the Smallest Natural Area in Vietnam
Located within the economic triangle of Hanoi-Haiphong-Quang Ninh and serving as the northeastern gateway to the capital, Bac Ninh is adjacent to major economic centers in the north and has great potential for attracting foreign and domestic investment.
Bac Ninh has the smallest natural area in Vietnam (822.7 km2) but a population of over 1.5 million people (ranked 22nd out of 63 provinces and cities), and the third-highest population density in the country.
The province boasts a synchronous infrastructure system, including information technology, telecommunications, electricity, water, and housing. It offers a favorable and open business environment, facilitating a rapid growth in the number of enterprises.
Bac Ninh also has significant potential for tourism development, boasting a rich cultural heritage and a thousand-year historical legacy. The province is home to numerous historical relics, temples, pagodas, and ancient architectural works, as well as a treasure trove of folk culture.
By 2030, Bac Ninh aims to become a centrally-governed city and a dynamic economic and cultural center in the northern region.
It will be one of the key development hubs in the Red River Delta, closely linked to Hanoi. The province will feature a synchronous and modern socio-economic infrastructure system, ensuring national defense, security, and social order. The goal is for the people of Bac Ninh to enjoy a prosperous, civilized, and happy life.
