The capital of Nghe An Province in central Vietnam. It is located 257 km south of Hanoi, in the center of the alluvial delta of the Ca River. It has a population of 98,700 (2003 estimate). National Highway No. 1 and the Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh Railway line pass through the city. It is also a key transportation hub with links to Thanh Hoa to the north, the Plain of Jars in Laos to the northwest, and Thakhek on the Mekong River to the southwest. There is a citadel built in 1804, and it has been a strategic military location since ancient times, and was subjected to heavy bombing by the US military during the Vietnam War. It has flourished as an agricultural and commercial center for the surrounding area, but in recent years, sugar and paper manufacturing industries have also been established. Ben Chuy in the east is Vinh's outer port. [Kikuchi Kazumasa] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
ベトナム中部、ゲアン省の省都。ハノイの南257キロメートル、カ川の沖積したデルタの中心に位置する。人口9万8700(2003推計)。国道1号線と鉄道のハノイ―ホー・チ・ミン線が通じている。また北はタインホア、北西はラオスのジャール平原、南西は同じくメコン河畔のタケクに通ずる交通の要衝である。1804年に築造された城塞(じょうさい)があり、古くから軍事上重要な地点のため、ベトナム戦争ではアメリカ軍の激しい爆撃にさらされた。付近の農業、商業の中心地として栄えてきたが、最近は製糖、製紙などの工業もおこっている。東部のベンチュイはビンの外港となっている。 [菊池一雅] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
