North is Hanoi capital, central is Hue city, south is Ho Chi Minh or HCMC ( formerly Saigon city ) the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is located in South East Asia, Vietnamese borders Cambodia, Laos, China. In the east is nearly pacific ocean to the east, south. The coastline is 3,260km long & two main cultivated areas are Red River Delta in the North, Mekong Delta in the South.
A truly beautiful country that is growing very quickly. Hanoi, in the North is a masterpiece of French architecture and Saigon in the South is a modern and fully up and coming city. Vietnam also offers some amazingly pristine beaches that have largely been untouched by tourism.
Vietnam has a population of around 80 million inhabitants, with 54 ethnic groups. The country is divided into 64 provinces with the capital being Hanoi. There is a lot of competition between Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi with both cities having their own stock exchanges. For tourism, it is fair to say that Hanoi is the capital as there is so much to offer. Whether it be architecture, lakes, or side trips such as to the beautiful and must-do Halong bay.
