Geography of Bac Giang

The terrain of Bac Giang includes mountainous areas (72%) and low-hill areas (28%) with small plains in between. There are patches of primeval forest in the mountainous areas while the hilly areas are covered with litchi plantations.

There are three main rivers in Bac Giang: Cau, Thuong and Luc Nam. These rivers discharge the water into the Red River and the Thai Binh River. The Cau River forms a natural border between Bac Ninh and Bac Giang running northwest-southeast. The Thuong River starts its course from the north of the province running north-south. The Luc Nam River starts from the mountains of Yen Tu running northeast-southwest and then north-south.
