Bắc Giang (
listen) is a city in Vietnam. It is the capital of Bắc Giang Province. Its name, deriving from that of the Province Sino-Vietnamese, means "north of the river." The Thượng River runs through the town's southern part heading for Haiphong.
Although the name of Bắc Giang (北江 "North River") Province is very old, established in its first form in 1466, there was historically no town of that name. The town was created out the old Láng Thượng District after independence.[1] The Suối Mỡ thermal springs area is 37 km from the town centre.[2] Bac Giang Peace Park was a sister city project with Madison, Wisconsin, United States.[3][4]
