Three points on the map of Vietnam (Nha Trang-Dalat-Mui Ne) that will be of interest to any tourist and traveler:

It is widely known throughout the world not only for its sad pages of history, but also for its relatively inexpensive and extremely attractive resorts. Friendly smiling people ancient history and extremely exotic cuisine - all this and much more can be found in this hot tropical country. Unique geographical position Vietnam affects all aspects of its social and economic life. We will try to consider this influence in more detail in this article.

Geographical location of Vietnam (briefly)

As mentioned above, the country is located on the Indochina Peninsula, or more precisely, on its southeastern tip. On the eastern side, Vietnam is washed by the South China Sea.

Vietnam is quite advantageous: on the western side the country borders with countries such as Cambodia, Laos and China (Chinese People's Republic). This allows the state to successfully trade with these countries. The longest joint border is with Laos (more than 1.5 thousand kilometers), the slightly shorter border is with China (almost 1.3 thousand kilometers), and Cambodia is in third place (0.98 thousand kilometers). The total area of ​​the state is 329.6 thousand square kilometers.

The geographical position of Vietnam has a pronounced elongated meridian character. The state stretches in a narrow strip along the 105th meridian, repeating the bends in the eastern and southern parts west coast East China Sea, including the Vietnamese part of the Gulf of Thailand and Tonkin. In the north, the country begins from the source of the Lo River, a left tributary of the Red River, and in the south it ends with the Camau Peninsula and the cape of the same name.

The second main feature of Vietnam's geographical location is its record-breaking sea coastline compared to its area, which has a powerful influence on the country's climate.

Relief

In the very south of the country lies a huge plain, irrigated by the waters of the Mekong (here is the river delta before it flows into the South China Sea). To the north lies the ridge of the Annam Mountains, parallel to which, closer to the sea, stretches the coastal lowland. Even further north is the high Yunnan Highlands, in the area of ​​which you can find the highest point in Vietnam - Mount Fanshi Pan (height 3,143 kilometers). The Yunnan Highlands are dissected by the bed of the second largest river, the Red (Hongha) River.

The state includes many islands, the largest of which is. Phu Quoc, located in Gulf of Thailand west of the Ca Mau Peninsula and south of Cambodia.

Climate

Vietnam's geographical position on the mainland determines its climate. When studying weather patterns, it is worth mentioning the three climatic parts of the country - Northern, Southern and Middle, which are very different. Such features of Vietnam as its great elongation in the meridian direction and the alternation of highlands and lowlands have led to a huge diversity climatic conditions.

So, if Northern part Since the country has a fairly pronounced winter period (winters are very mild), in its southern part we can already talk about a rainy season in winter and a dry season in summer. In the mountainous region of Vietnam average temperature does not exceed +20 o C. In general, its average annual temperature is +22...+27 o C.

Agriculture

Agriculture, along with tourism, is one of the leading industries. This is greatly facilitated by the favorable agro-geographical position of Vietnam. Relative proximity to the equator (the main part of the country is located between the 10th and 20th parallels); increased humidity due to the proximity of the sea and two large rivers(Mekong and Krasnaya rivers) and a large number of sunny days - all this allows the country's farmers to harvest several harvests a year.

Of course, first of all, this concerns rice, which is so adored by the local population, which, along with seafood, is the basis of their diet. In all parts of the country you can see rice fields flooded with water, and in the mountainous areas they are laid out in beautiful rows - this is one of the attractions of the state.

Tourism

The geographical location of Vietnam and its climatic diversity make the country attractive to almost any tourist. Tourists who prefer cooler weather choose the northern and mountainous parts of the country; lovers of hotter conditions - southern and flat.

Whatever the situation with the weather, Vietnamese cuisine is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. In number national dishes includes more than five hundred different exotic dishes. A huge number of meat dishes (including the most unusual “varieties” of meat, for example, viper or young crocodile) are adjacent to the original culinary products of the different types, taste and smell. But the basis national cuisine Local people certainly enjoy rice in all forms. It is added almost everywhere and almost always.

Flora

Despite the fact that the country is quite densely populated, northern mountains In Vietnam you can see protected areas of nature that are still practically untouched by man. A third of the territory is covered with impenetrable jungle thickets - all this under the generous tropical sun and in conditions of high humidity!

It is not surprising that it has acquired enormous species diversity. There are more than a thousand tree species alone. Among the most valuable species, examples include ironwood, so named because of its amazing strength, similar to iron), cinnamon wood, mahogany, ebony and many others. The country's forests are characterized by pronounced altitudinal zonation. At altitudes up to one thousand to one and a half thousand meters, subtropical species grow; above two thousand there is an amazing variety of coniferous species.

Fauna

The fauna of Vietnam is not inferior to the flora in terms of richness and diversity. In the country's jungles there are about 1,000 bird species, about 300 reptiles, and approximately 170 mammal species. The rivers are not inferior to the jungle, in which there are more than a thousand species of ichthyofauna (fish) alone!

The most common inhabitants of the jungle include monkeys, parrots, wild pigeons, deer, wild boars, panthers, wolves, pheasants, and bears. An unwary traveler may also meet the owner of the jungle - a magnificent tiger, although the latter are wary of humans and try to stay away from human paths. Some time ago, even rhinoceroses lived in the jungle, but now, unfortunately, they have been practically exterminated.

In addition to rhinoceroses, about 80 species of mammals and birds are listed as endangered, including sika deer, tapirs, peacocks, gibbons and many others.
