Bac Giang Province

Bac Giang is a quietly rewarding province northeast of Hanoi that most travelers pass through without stopping - which is exactly why it's worth pausing. Famous for its lychee orchards (Vietnam's largest producer), ancient pagodas, and the Buddhist complex at Tay Yen Tu, it offers an unhurried look at northern Vietnamese rural life. The province also has significant historical weight as a base during the resistance wars.
