Phủ Lý was formerly the capital city of the former Hà Nam Province of Vietnam, 60 kilometres south of Hanoi on the river Đáy. The Vietnamese Wikipedia article calls it the southern gateway of the capital, lying on National Route 1 on both banks of the Đáy River, bordered by Bình Lục district to the east, Kim Bảng town to the west, Thanh Liêm district to the south and Duy Tiên town to the north. It lies 30 kilometres northwest of Nam Định and 33 kilometres north of Hoa Lư. The North-South railway passes through it, and it is the meeting place of three rivers, the Đáy, the Châu Giang and the Nhuệ, which is convenient for transport by road and by water. It lies in the Red River delta close to hills, and its terrain is divided into several areas on both banks of the rivers.
