Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country located along the eastern coast of the Indochinese Peninsula, known for its rich history, diverse landscapes, and vibrant culture. Stretching from the mountainous north to the fertile Mekong Delta in the south, Vietnam features dramatic natural scenery, long coastlines, tropical beaches, and dense river systems that have supported civilization for thousands of years.
Vietnam has a population of approximately 100 million people, making it one of the most populous countries in the world. The population is relatively young, dynamic, and increasingly urbanized, with a strong emphasis on family, community, and education. Ethnic Vietnamese (Kinh) make up the majority, while more than 50 recognized ethnic minority groups contribute to the countryโs cultural diversity through languages, traditions, and festivals. Rapid economic growth over recent decades has led to expanding cities, a growing middle class, and improved living standards.
Vietnamโs economy is driven by manufacturing, agriculture, technology, tourism, and exports, making it a key player in regional and global supply chains. Tourism remains an important sector, with visitors attracted to historic towns, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, beaches, and cuisine known worldwide for its balance of flavors and fresh ingredients.
