Like a dragon floating in the sea, Vietnam winds its way
some 1,030 miles up from the South China Sea to the Gulf of Tonkin, with its
head caressing the border of China to the north and its back resting snuggly
against her Southeast Asian neighbors, Laos and Cambodia, to the west. The
total land area of Vietnam covers about 128,000 square miles. Vietnam’s main
cities, for population and importance, are Hanoi, Haiphong, Hue, and Ho Chi
Minh City (formerly Saigon). |
