How this list was compiled: Items made on 2026-10-01; names, ids and accepted spellings are Natural Earth's. The points file gives seven small provinces a ring with a leader line; this page opens on the plain outline, where those lines would stand alone, so the rings are left out, the number mark is 8 units and not 10.2, and the points of the Red River Delta were moved a few units apart inside their shapes. THE LIST IS DATED: these are the 63 provinces and centrally run cities Vietnam had from 2008 until the mergers of 2025, not today's 34. All 63 names were compared on 2026-10-01 with the list of ISO 3166-2 codes for Vietnam as Wikipedia prints it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:VN, 63 codes, which the article says are obsolete in practice since the mergers), and every name is on it. Today's count of 34 and the mergers of 2025: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Vietnam, read 2026-10-01. The eleven sets are the three regions of everyday use and the eight statistical regions of before 2025, as the points file groups them. The Paracel and Spratly Islands, claimed by Vietnam and by other countries, are not among the source's features of Vietnam and are not drawn.

How it works

This Vietnam outline map opens on the plain outline of the country. Switch Borders on for the 63 provinces and cities Vietnam had before the mergers of 2025; today it has 34.

Read the full guide

A plain outline first

The sheet opens with nothing inside the outline: a long S-shaped country with China to the north and Laos and Cambodia to the west. Press Print this map for an outline map of Vietnam to draw rivers, cities or regions on.

The provinces of before 2025

Borders adds the 63 provinces and centrally run cities Vietnam had from 2008 to 2025. Numbered and Named label them. Many were merged in 2025, so use this layer with older worksheets and check today’s 34 against a current list.

  • Print it as a Vietnam War blank map: students draw the dividing line of 1954 to 1976 at the 17th parallel themselves.

Questions and answers

How many provinces does Vietnam have?

Thirty-four provinces and cities since the mergers of 2025. Before that it had 63, the ones this map can show. Bắc Kạn, for example, is now part of Thái Nguyên.

Is there a Vietnam map quiz?

Yes, on the provinces as they were before 2025. Press Quiz yourself on this map and the page names one of the 63 at a time for you to tap. A round can take the north, the center or the south.

What is around the outline on the Vietnam blank map?

China, Laos and Cambodia are drawn as plain land without names. The islands of Phú Quốc and Côn Đảo are on the map. The Paracel and Spratly Islands, which Vietnam and other countries claim, are not in the source and are not drawn.
