Cao Bang is located in the northeast of Vietnam. The North and Northeast sides are bordered by Guangxi Province (China), with a borderline of 333,403 km. Cao Bang is a karst plateau mixed with mountains, with an average altitude of over 200 m, and the adjacent area with an altitude of 600-1,300 m above sea level. Mountainous forests account for more than 90% of the province’s area. Since then, three distinct regions have been formed: The east has many rocky mountains, the western mountains are mixed with soil and rocky mountains, the southwest is mostly mountainous with dense forests.
