| General Information
|
Cao Bang Province is located in the North east of Vietnam, 272 km north of Hanoi. Cao Bang borders the provinces of Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang, Bac Kạn, and Lạng Son, as well as the province of Guangxi in the People's Republic of China.
Most of Cao Bang Province is mountainous, with only a small amount of habitable land. Much of the province is heavily forested. The average temperature in the province is 22oC, but in winter, certain areas may sometimes become cold enough to receive snow. The Ban Gioc Waterfall is one of the province's more well known natural features.

| History |
| Cao Bang's proximity to China has meant that it has had a somewhat turbulent history, having changed hands a number of times. Later, the province became an important center of nationalist activity after Vietnam was conquered by the French, with many pro-independence groups basing themselves in the mountains. The Communist Party of Vietnam also chose the province as a base, using the rough terrain as protection. |
