Thanh Hóa (listen) is the capital city of Vietnam's Thanh Hóa Province. The population is more than 197,000 inside an area of 57.9 square kilometers. The city is located south of the Sông Hồng (Pink River) delta region, about 137 km south of Hanoi, on a small tributary of the Mã River (Sông Mã).
Thanh Hóa is linked with Hanoi by road and railway and considered to be a growing trade and industrial center. Agriculture, forestry and fishery are being developed here. During the Vietnam War, US strategic bombing destroyed much of the buildings and infrastructure, the whole city has been totally rebuilt since then. Thanh Hóa has the Hoang Long Antique Museum, and the large Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception with active services.
