Quang Ngai is a province in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam, on the coast of East Sea. It is located 883 kilometres (549 mi) south of Hanoi and 838 kilometres (521 mi) north of Ho Chi Minh City.
Quang Ngai’s topography is dominated by a large plain along the coast and in the center of the province and by mountains and hills in the west and along its borders with Quang Nam and Binh Đinh provinces. Lowlands extend further inland along Tra Khuc River. The province’s highest peak is at 1630m in the west of the province near the border to Quang Nam. The coastline is relatively straight in most of the south and central part of the province (unusual for the South Central Coast), but features several capes north of Quang Ngai City. The province’s largest river is the Tra Khuc. Other important rivers are the Tra Bong in the north and the Ve River in the south of the province. The Ly Son islands belong to Quang Ngai.
