Cao Bằng ([kāːw ɓàŋ] ⓘ) is a city in northern Vietnam.[2] It is the capital and largest settlement of Cao Bằng Province. It is located on the bank of the Bằng Giang river, and is around 30 kilometres (19 mi) away from the border with China's Guangxi region. According to the 2019 census, Cao Bằng City has a population of 73,549 people.[1]
History[edit]
The area, Cao Bằng (高平; 'high plateau'), was the stronghold of the last years of the Mạc dynasty after their 1592 defeat at the hands of the Trịnh lords. During the 19th century the area was resistant to the Nguyễn government.[3]
The city is also known for the Battle of Cao Bằng, the first major decisive victory of the Việt Minh against the French Army.[4]
During the Sino-Vietnamese war Cao Bằng fell for a limited time in Chinese hands.
Tourist[edit]
Burning grass hill (Đồi cỏ cháy): The road to the Ba Quang burnt grass hill area is quite convenient. The distance from Thanh Nhat town (Ha Lang) to the hill area is about 6-7 km of concrete road, which can be traveled by motorbike or car. Tourists should note that when you reach the intersection of Khum Din hamlet, 3 km from Vinh Quy commune People's Committee, turn right onto the small concrete road and continue for about 3 km to reach Ba Quang grass hill. The road here is considered relatively dangerous and difficult to travel, so visitors should choose to travel by motorbike, especially a manual transmission or high-clearance car.[5]
