Regions of Vietnam

Central Vietnam ( or miền Trung), also known as Middle Vietnam or The Middle, formerly known as Trung Việt by the State of Vietnam, Trung Phần by the Republic of Vietnam, Trung Kỳ or Annam under French colonial rule, is one of the three geographical regions within Vietnam.

The name Trung Bộ was used by the emperor Bảo Đại when he established administrative level higher than Province in 1945, instead of the Trung Kỳ which recalled the French occupation. This name was officially used by government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and is popularly used today.

Administration

Central Vietnam includes 3 administrative regions, which in turn comprises 19 First Tier units.
