[edit ]Currently, Vĩnh Bảo rural district is divided into 20 commune-level administrative units.
- 1 municipality : Vĩnh Lạc capital-township.

Topography
[edit ]Vĩnh Bảo rural district is located in the Southern and about 40 km from the center of Hải Phòng city. Its surface is almost flat and not very high compared to sea level, therefore, that problem has made it difficult for living every time to enter the rainy season.[1] [2] Besides, Vĩnh Bảo is also the intersection of the three largest rivers in the Northeast Vietnam : Luộc, Hóa and Thái Bình. In particular, the water power of Thái Bình River is very large, so it is considered as one of the causes of serious flooding.[3]
Up to now, Vĩnh Lạc township is the most important traffic hub of the whole district, where is run by large roads such as : Provincial routes of 18 Tháng 3 and 20 Tháng 8, Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm road (or called as National Highway 37), especially National Highway 10.
Population
[edit ]According to the statistics of the Central Steering Committee of the General Census for the Population and Housing[note 2] on December 31, 2022, the total population of Vĩnh Bảo rural district reached 224,813. In particular, all people are registered as Kẻ Kinh.
Culture
[edit ]The soil cannonball contest (hội thi pháo đất) has been a tradition of Vĩnh Bảo rural district,[4] which has been recorded by Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư since the XVII century. It is always held on the first day of the Lunar New Year to honor agriculture and pray for the new year by farmers.[5] [6] [7]
Economy
[edit ]Vĩnh Bảo rural district is the only locality not bordering the sea in Hải Phòng, but because of the interlaced river system, it has been known as the key agricultural area of the city.[8] With 70% of the land area to serve agriculture, it has been self-reliant to build from 70 to 80 agricultural extension models.[9]
In the past, Vĩnh Bảo and Tiên Lãng were two localities with their tradition of processing pipe tobacco (thuốc lào), even during the war and subsidy, they were considered as strategic items.[10] Therefore, these two localities were Vietnamese government allowing some autonomies of production, which has been considered prohibition before the 1990s. However, when the market economy has begun to crept into Vietnam society, the status of Vĩnh Bảo pipe tobacco brand was increasingly low. The locality has gradually shifted to the diversification of the economy.[11] [12]
Since 2016, Tân Hưng commune has emerged as the locality with the most successful melon growth in Vietnam. The type of yellow melon is known as Golden Lady (kim cô nương), Golden Empress (kim hoàng hậu) or Golden Emperor (kim thiên hoàng) what can be harvested from two to three seasons per year. In particular, since VietGAP standard has been applied, the melon output has reached 1800 or 2000 tons per season.[13]
During the years after the passing of the Covid-19 epidemic, Vĩnh Bảo Agricultural Extension Agency[note 3] has begun to deploy intellectual investment and technical means for rươi processing.[14] [15]
