Nghe An

Nghệ An is a province in north-central Vietnam bordering Laos and the Gulf of Tonkin. On the coast, Cửa Lò and Quỳnh Nghĩa are laid-back, white-sand beaches. Hoàng Trù and Kim Liên villages feature the homes where Ho Chi Minh was born and raised, as well as museums and monuments dedicated to the leader. Remote Pù Mát National Park is a sanctuary for endangered animals such as gibbons, tigers and Asian elephants.
