Historia

Nghệ An has been a centre of Vietnamese history for centuries and was the base of many uprisings. Hồ Chí Minh was born in the province in 1890 and spent his childhood in Kim Liên.

Vinh was almost completely destroyed in the war and rebuilt in the 1970s and 1980s with help from East Germany. The old citadel survives only as a small ruin.
