City

Sầm Sơn

South-eastern Asia

Sầm Sơn is a former resort city of Thanh Hóa Province on the North Central Coast of Vietnam. Its name was first that of a small mountain whose waves-against-the-cliff sound earned it the nickname growling mountain, and the official name of that mountain is Trường Lệ. French explorers surveyed the site in 1905 and 1906, and from 1907 it was planned as the only modern resort of the North Central region of French Indochina. In 1946 the former emperor Bảo Đại stayed there for a few months. A township was established in 1963, and by 2019 the district-level town had a population of 109,208 over an area of 18 square kilometres. Sầm Sơn city was dissolved in the 2025 administrative reform, and a ward of the same name continues it.
