Ninh
Binh is located on Red river delta with
geographical co-orrdinate from 19050' to 20027'
at Northern latitude and from 105032' to 106033'
at Eastern longitude. Ninh Binh shares the
administative border with Ha Nam in the North,
Nam Dinh in the East, the East Sea in the
Southeast, Thanh Hoa in the West and Southwest,
and Hoa Binh in the Northwest.
Ninh
Binh's terrain is split into three main areas:
hills and mountains, semi- hills and mountains,
delta, and coastal arrea and sea.
Ninh
Binh is located in the transitional position of
natural sysstems: Red river delta, Northwest
mountain area in Hoa Binh - Thanh Hoa buffer
zone and sea territory. On the other hand. Ninh
Binh can be considered as a bridge linking
Northern provinces with Southern ones and it is
located on the trafic life-line including
National Highway 1A and trans-Vietnam railway.
Ninh
Binh is located close to the key economic areas
of the North, including Hanoi, Hai Phong, Quang
Ninh. Therefore, its development will form a new
growth triangle of Hanoi - Hai Phong - Quang
Ninh - Ninh Binh through National Highways 1A,
18, 10 and 2 important airports of Noi Bai and
Cat Bi, sea Port and river Port systems meeting
demand for passenger tranport with different
means within the 100 km radius.
Ninh
Binh is located in the tropics and monsoon area
affected by coastal climate. Every year, Ninh
Binh receives a big mount of solar radiation
with high total radiation and radiation balance
(equivalent to 110 - 120 Kcal/cm2/year and
87.2Kcal/cm2/year ), which creates a high
temperature degree with the average temperature
of 2307C and the total annual working heat at
about 8,5000C. In winter, the temperature degree
is low cold and dry weather. In summer, it is
Southwest monsoon causing much rain. the major
part of Ninh Binh is delta with few hills and
mountains, so the climate is varied according to
the territories.
with
such rainfall, Ninh Binh' s river system is
supported the plentiful rain- water forming
relarively abundant current ( about 301/s/km2).
The river density in Ninh Binh is at medium rate
of around 0.6 - 0.9 km/km2. Most rivers flow in
the Northwest - Southeast direction and into the
sea through Day river mouth. In addition, Hoang
Long River is an estuary of Day River and other
rivers. In Ninh Binh, there are many lakes and
lagoons namely Dam Cut and Dong Thai lake range
with spectacular scenery, and Kenh Ga and Ky Phu
spas.
Ninh
Binh's hydrography has many advantages, creating
the favourable conditions for development of
agriculture with variety of crops and
development of tourism and industry.
The
total area of natural land in Ninh Binh is 143,
300 ha with various kinds of land including
raised and un-raised alluvion land (in the
coastal plain) favourable for raising aquatic
products and growing industrial crops; the poor
and aluminous alluvion land (in the hollow delta
) suitable for intensive cultivation of rice and
farm produces; the peralitic land (in semi- hill
and mountain areas) suitable for developing
fruit - tree, industrial crops and medicinal
plant.
Out of
the total natural tand area, agricultural land
accounts for the largest proportion of 66,900
hectares, making up 46.5% of the natural land
area, forestry land 19,800 ha, accounting for
14%; specific-use land area 15,500ha, accounting
for 11%; residential land area is 5,000ha,
constituting and un-used land 36,000ha, at
24,5%.
Thus,
in Ninh Binh, the land area used for agriculture
(coastal area, semi-hill and mountain area and
delta) makes up over 60% of natural land area
creating condition for a diversified agriculture
development. however, a big percentage of
un-used land has to be imprroved and exploited
in service of the economic activities....
Ninh
Binh has many kinds of minerals with remarkable
amount of limestone. Limestone mountains in the
province account for an area of 1.2 ten thousand
hectares with the reserve of tens of billions of
cubic metres and tens and tens of millions of
dolomit tones with high quality. This is a good
material resource for producing constructional
materials, especially cement and some chemical
substances.
Besides, Ninh Binh also has clay resource
scatteredly distributed in lower mountain area
in Tam Diep town, Gia Vien and Yen Mo districts
for producing brick and tiles and for founding
industry as well.
The
peat reserve is 2 million tonnes distributed in
Gia Son, Son Ha (Nho Quan) for producing
microbiological fertilizer.
Despite narrow land area with low population
density, Ninh Binh has much tourism
potentiality, of not only national but also
internarional value. Tourism resources (both
nature and humanity) are relatively diversified
including lakes, forests, famous historical and
cultural relics, etc. This is an important
advantage to boost up the development of the
tourism at higher speed in the coming time.
Ninh
Binh's tourism natural resources concentrate in
some main areas such as Hoa Lu, Tam Coc- Bich
Dong, Cuc Phuong, Phat Diem...and the latest one
is Trang An tourism cave resort... These are
combined between natural resources and humanity
resources, creating fàvourable condition for
forming one (or several) big tourism resort
attracting tourists and having high
competitiveness with others. In the coming time,
the National highway No.1A will be upgraded, to
attract more tourists. |
