Vietnam has two cities of more than eight million people, at opposite ends of the country. The other eight cities are all far smaller, and the figures for them are rounded estimates.
The map shows Vietnam alone, in detail. Each dot sits at the exact position of the city centre.
How to play
Each city is a red dot on the map from the start. The dots show where the cities are, not which one is which.
A numbered list on the left shows the ranks 1 to 10. Type the city names in any order.
You can start to type right away. You do not need to click the answer box first.
A correct name turns the dot and its rank green and shows the name and the population.
Local names, old names and English names count. Accents are not required.
A timer tracks your run. The quiz saves your best score and best time.
If you are stuck, use the give up button. The map then shows the cities you missed.
What counts in this quiz
Exactly 10 cities, ranked by population of the urban area.
The figures are from 2023 estimates and are rounded.
Ho Chi Minh City is the biggest city with about 9.4M people.
What's not included — and why
Thủ Đức is part of Ho Chi Minh City and does not count on its own.
Thuận An and Dĩ An, industrial suburbs near Ho Chi Minh City, are left out because they are towns inside Bình Dương Province, not cities in their own right.
Good to know
Ho Chi Minh City is still called Saigon by many of its people. Both names count.
Hanoi became the capital in 1010 and celebrated its 1,000th year in 2010.
Da Nang is the biggest city of central Vietnam and sits halfway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
