| The
city of Phan Rang is located 3 miles inland from the South China Sea
and 35 miles south of Cam Ranh Bay. It is the Provincial Capital of
Ninh Thuan Province, which lies on the southern end of Central Vietnam
and occupies a geographical position as a central transportation point
adjoining three regions; Southern Central Highlands, South Central and
South-East. It borders Cam Ranh Bay and three other provinces, Khanh
Hoa (Nha Trang), Tuyen Duc (Da Lat), and Binh Thuan (Phan Thiet). It
is the residence of a large number of ethnic Cham, along with the Ra
Glai and Hoa peoples. Ninh Thuan Province is the driest and hottest
region of Vietnam. The climate is a combination of the tropical monsoon
and dry and windy weather. The coastal plain is semi-arid with Prickly
Pear Cactus vegetation. The average temperature is 27 degree C (80.6
degree F). The natural area of the province is 3,430 sq. kilometers
(1,325 sq. miles) and hosts a population of over 483,000 people. The
province’s topography forms three zones – plain, coastal and
mountainous. |
