bordered by China, Laos, and Cambodia, and for the
most part is separated from them by a long chain
of mountains. It has a subtropical to a tropical climate
from one part of the country to another. Vietnam gets
lots of rain each year, and is ideal for the growing of rice,
tropical fruits, and rubber trees. For more detailed information
