Tra Vinh

Tra Vinh is located at the end of an islet, lying between the Tien River and the Hau River. The terrain is predominantly flat, with elevations of less than 1 meter above sea level. As a coastal delta region, Tra Vinh features numerous sand ridges running along the coastline, forming parallel curved lines. The closer these sand ridges are to the sea, the higher and wider they become. Due to the division created by the sand ridges and the network of roads, canals, and waterways, Tra Vinh’s terrain is relatively complex. Low-lying areas are interspersed between higher sand ridges, and slopes are noticeable only within individual fields. In particular, the southern part of the province consists of low-lying land, segmented by arc-shaped sand ridges into many small depressed areas, with elevations of only 0.5–0.8 meters. As a result, this area is often affected by saltwater intrusion for three to five months each year.
