Geography of Vietnam - Physiography

Physiography

Vietnam is a country of tropical lowlands, hills, and densely forested highlands, with level land covering no more than 20% of the area. The country is divided into the highlands and the Red River delta in the north; and the Dãy Trường Sơn (Central mountains, or the Chaîne Annamitique, sometimes referred to simply as "the Chaine."), the coastal lowlands, and the Mekong River Delta in the south.

The spectacular Bản Giốc Waterfall is 272 km north of Hanoi and few tourists are seen there.
