Hậu Giang Province (Hậu Giang Province)
Hậu Giang is a province located in the Mekong Delta region in the southern part of Vietnam. Vị Thanh is the capital.

Until the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, the province included the city of Cần Thơ which was the provincial capital. In 1975, the province was renamed Cần Thơ province, with the city of Cần Thơ still the capital. In late 2004, Cần Thơ and some surrounding cities became Cần Thơ municipality (Thành Phố Cần Thơ). The remainder of Cần Thơ province became Hậu Giang province.

Hậu Giang has an industrial zone of 902 ha. There are 120 km of national roads: National Highway 61 (which leads to National Highway 1, going through Cần Thơ Municipality on the Hậu River to Ho Chi Minh City), and water connections by canal and river to the Hậu River.

An estimated 80% of the province will be underwater following a 0.5 m sea level rise relative to the current land elevation, which is subsiding over time.

Vietnam or Viet Nam (Việt Nam, ), officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is a country in Southeast Asia. It is located at the eastern edge of mainland Southeast Asia, with an area of 311699 km2 and population of 96 million, making it the world's sixteenth-most populous country. Vietnam borders China to the north, and Laos and Cambodia to the west. It shares maritime borders with Thailand through the Gulf of Thailand, and the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia through the South China Sea. Its capital is Hanoi and its largest city is Ho Chi Minh City (informal popular name is Saigon).

Vietnam was inhabited by the Paleolithic age, with states established in the first millennium BC on the Red River Delta in modern-day northern Vietnam. The Han dynasty annexed Northern and Central Vietnam under Chinese rule from 111 BC, until the first dynasty emerged in 939. Successive monarchical dynasties absorbed Chinese influences through Confucianism and Buddhism, and expanded southward to the Mekong Delta, conquering Champa. The Nguyễn—the last imperial dynasty—surrendered to France in 1883. Following the August Revolution, the nationalist Viet Minh under the leadership of communist revolutionary Ho Chi Minh proclaimed independence from France in 1945.
