GEOGRAPHY OF VIETNAM

Stretching 1,650 km from north to south, Vietnam is surrounded to the west by Laos and Cambodia and to the north by China.

The Annamite Range forms a narrow band of high plateaus and mountains that separates the deltas of the Red River to the north and that of the Mekong to the south. Bordered by the China Sea, the Gulf of Tonkin and the Gulf of Thailand, the country benefits from a maritime coastline of more than 3000 km.
