physical regions:
- North or Tonkin, Tonkin French colonizers
- The Centre, or Trung Bo, the former Annam
- The South, or Nam Bo, former Cochinchina.

form of a conical hat. Currently in the region

North East, the mountains of North West and the
Red River Delta.

Himalayan terrain) that share the border with
Laos and China.
