The topography is composed of 3 clear steps + Mountains in the west cover 70% of the natutal area with heigh varying from 500 to 1,480 m. The terrain lies along the border between Vietnam, Laos and stretches to the basins of the rivers of Huong, Bo, Truoi, A Sap, and O Lau, creating narrow coastal plains and the Tam Giang Cau Hai lagoon system. The catchment areas of these five rivers comprise a crisscross system of streams and mountain creeks that provides an abundant freshwater resource and creates a unique coastal ecosystem. + Midland area: Wide top, slope side, and hundreds of ''bowl-shaped'' hills feature predominantly in this area. The hills are low, between 20 to 200 m., with some points at 400 m, and occupy about a third of the provincial area, between the mountains and plains. + The total plain area is about 1,400 km 2 with a heigh of only 20 m. above sea level. Between the hills are lagoons which occupy the remaining 5% of the surface area. Basins of large rivers create narrow coastal plains, covering lagoon area of 22,000 ha, such as Tam Giang, Ha Trung and Cau Hai lagoons, An Cu area and three gates to the sea, i.e. Thuan An, Tu Hien and Lang Co. In the plain, the terrain is sand-banks of 5m - 30m long in parallel with the coast. Climate 7 Thua Thien - Hue is in the tropical monsoon area, influenced by the interfered weather between Asian tropical weather in the north and the tropical weather in the south. The annually average temperature is about 25.6 o C. In the mountainous area, the climate is cool with respectively lowest and highest temperatures of 9 o C and 29 o C. The provincial climate can be divided into two regions + The eastern delta is characterized by the annual average temperature of over 24 o C, dividing into 3 sub-regions: (i) the sub-delta in the north of Hue City, (ii) the sub-region from Phu Bai to Truoi, and (iii) the sub-region of delta lagoon in Phu Loc District. + The western hilly area is characterized by a low total heat and annual temperate weather, accompanied by sooner rainfall. This area is divided into 5 sub-regions of hilly areas, Nam Dong valley, Bach Ma, A Luoi, and Ngai mountain. In the coast and delta, the climate is divided into two distinct seasons: the dry season (from March to August) with the highest temperature of 39.9 o C and the rainy season (from September to next February) with average temperature of 19.7 o C, sometimes reaching the lowest of 8.8 o C. Daily rains coinciding with winter during this season may lengthen for a week. Therefore, plants, grasses, flowers and animals in Thua Thien - Hue belong to a complicated and diversified ecosystem

5 3 Resources Land resources The soil type is divided into two main systems: the feralit system in mountainous and hilly area and the alluvium in costal delta, and a small area along valleys of rivers and streams. The natural area is 506,500 ha, comprising 10 main types. The alluvium soil, red and yellow soil, yellow humus soil in mountain, sandy soil, saline soil, etc. are large and scatter in different areas. Soil type Yellow and red Plain area Waterlogged, alluvial soil; Swampy soil, Total including valley valley soil generated by gathering product Area 348, , Water resources 9 Thua Thien Hue has a dense network of waterways, however, they are small and steep. The total length of rivers and streams flowing through the province is about 300 km, of which the Huong River network accounts for 60%.
