| General Information |
Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province is located in the Southern Vietnam, to the northeast of the Mekong Delta. It shares its border with Dong Nai Province to the north and Binh Thuan Province to the east, Ho Chi Minh City to the west and East Sea to the south - east.
With the exception of the Con Dao islands, all of Ba Ria -Vung Tau province was once a part of Dong Nai Province to the north. In 1979, Vung Tau was broken away from Dong Nai and merged with the Con Dao islands (formerly part of Hau Giang Province), forming the new Vung Tau–Con Dao "special zone". Later, in 1992, Ba Ria was also broken away from Dong Nai Province, merging with Vung Tau - Con Dao to form the modern province of Ba Ria - Vung Tau. |
