Hưng Yên

Hưng Yên is a province of northern Vietnam, listed by the national census tables as one of the first-level divisions of the country. At the census of 19 April 2019 it counted 1,252,731 residents, up from 1,127,903 at the 2009 census, spread over ten local units: nine districts and the district-level city of Hưng Yên, which is also the provincial capital. Its districts include Ân Thi, Khoái Châu, Kim Động, Mỹ Hào, Phù Cừ, Tiên Lữ, Văn Giang, Văn Lâm and Yên Mỹ. The province covers only about 923 square kilometres. In administrative terms it is a young unit in its present form, because it only became a province in its own right in 1996, when the larger Hải Hưng province was divided into Hải Dương and Hưng Yên.
