Đắk Nông (Vietnamese: [ʔɗak̚˧˦ nəwŋ͡m˧˧] ), also Ðắc Nông, is a southern mountainous province in the Central Highlands region, the Central of Vietnam. It borders Đắk Lắk to the north, Lâm Đồng to the southeast, Bình Phước and Mondulkiri of Cambodia to the west.

Geography[edit]

Đắk Nông has about 500m above sea level. The terrain is lower in the west. Đắk Nông has large fields and lakes in the south. Đắk Nông has three main river systems: the Ba River, the Srepok (or Sêrêpôk) river (part of the Mekong river basin) and Đồng Nai river demarking the southern border of the Province, with other small rivers and tributaries. Tà Đùng National Park helps to provide riparian zone protection for the Đồng Nai River basin.

The average temperature is 24 degrees Celsius. The rainy season starts in May and ends in October. The dry season starts in November and ends in April the year after.

History[edit]

Until recently, Đắk Nông was part of the larger Đắk Lắk province, but is now fully independent. Before 1975, Đắk Nông was part of South Vietnam (Republic of Vietnam) and was formerly named Quảng Đức Province. However, after the 1975 Việt Cộng victory and reunification with southern Vietnam in the Vietnam War, Quảng Đức was conjoined with Đắk Lắk Province. For Đắk Nông's history, please see Đắk Lắk province.
