Thanh Hóa (
listen) is the capital city of Vietnam's Thanh Hoa province. The population is nearly 200,000 with an area of only 57.9 square kilometers.
The city is located south of the Red River (Sông Hồng) delta region, about 137 km south of Hanoi, on a small tributary of the Ma River (Sông Mã). Thanh Hoa is linked with Hanoi by road and railway and considered to be a growing trade and industrial center. Agriculture, forestry and fishery are being developed here.
During Vietnam War, US strategic bombing destroyed much of the buildings and infrastructure, the whole city has been totally rebuilt since then.
Thanh Hóa has the Hoang Long Antique Museum, and the large Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception with active services.
