Bac Lieu

Bac Lieu (in Vietnamese, Bạc Liêu) is a Province of Vietnam. It is a coastal province, and is situated in the Mekong Delta region of the southern part of the country.

Bạc Liêu is divided into six districts:

* Dong Hai
* Giá Rai
* Hòa Binh
* Hồng Dân
* Phước Long
* Vinh Loi

The provincial capital, which is also known as Bạc Liêu, is a separate municipality.

Bạc Liêu is generally thought of as being in the Mekong Delta, although it is actually located slightly to the south of the Mekong's main outflows. Bạc Liêu is around 100 km south of Cần Thơ, the largest city in the Mekong Delta.

After the Fall of Saigon, 30 April 1975, Bạc Liêu and Cà Mau provinces were merged into one big province which was called Minh Hai. Although it is located in Vietnam, many years ago this land was apart of the Khmer Empire which ruled most of Indochina many centuries ago. It is still home to many ethnic Khmer people. Until 1996, Minh Hai was split into two, with the northeast becoming Bạc Liêu Province and the southwest becoming Cà Mau Province.

Vọng cổ, an important song in the traditional music of southern Vietnam, was composed in Bac Lieu around 1918 or 1919.
