Sông Bé – A Prosperous and Beautiful Province of Southeastern Vietnam
Sông Bé – A Prosperous and Beautiful Province of Southeastern Vietnam
Sông Bé’s territory lies within one of the country’s key economic zones, covering nearly 10,000 km²—equivalent to one million hectares. The province has a population of 1.1 million, with an average density of one person per hectare. Sông Bé is a young land located between the South Central Highlands (rich in potential for hydropower, bauxite, timber, agricultural products, etc.) and Ho Chi Minh City.
Sông Bé is endowed with abundant natural resources and holds great potential to become a prosperous locality contributing significantly to the national economy. It has long been, and continues to be, a destination attracting both domestic and foreign investors.
The land consists of 18 different soil types, suitable for various crops such as rubber, peanuts, pepper, cashew, and coffee. The two major soil groups are basaltic red soil and grey soil developed from ancient alluvium.
Surface water and groundwater sources are plentiful, and if used appropriately, they can fully meet the needs of socio-economic development within the province. Moreover, these water sources can also supply Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces. With its dense network of rivers and streams, Sông Bé has many advantages for developing both hydropower and irrigation.
Its forests have the largest reserves in Southeastern Vietnam. Current forest types include hardwood forests, mixed forests of hardwood and bamboo, and forests of bamboo, neohouzeaua, and lồ ô. The total timber reserve is approximately 10.5 million cubic meters.
There are up to 104 mineral sites, including metallic minerals (bauxite, gold), and non-metallic minerals (peat, kaolin, clay for bricks and tiles, limestone, and construction stone). Although Sông Bé’s mineral resources are not highly diverse, they exist in large quantities, possess high quality, and are easy to extract.
In terms of tourism, Sông Bé’s terrain combines both plains and midlands, giving rise to many scenic spots known since ancient times, forming a foundation for future tourism development. Notable attractions include the Lái Thiêu fruit orchards, Bình Anh Lake, Lồ Ô Stream, Châu Thới Mountain, Bà Rá Mountain, Mơ Waterfall…
Additionally, historical sites such as Phú Lợi, the D Zone Resistance Base, Bầu Bàng, Đồng Xoài, Phước Long, and the Iron Triangle contribute to its cultural heritage.
We hope that Sông Bé will soon achieve great success and become a prosperous and strong locality.
