On the morning of June 12, 2025, at its 9th session, the 15th National Assembly voted to approve a resolution on the reorganization of provincial-level administrative units in 2025. From 63 provinces and cities, the administrative map was reorganized into 34 provincial-level administrative units (including 28 provinces and 6 cities).

Accordingly, the boundaries, natural area, and scale of each province and city have changed. The four extreme points (East, West, South, and North) have also undergone changes in administrative boundary information.

The northernmost point (coordinates: 23°22'59"N 105°20'20"E) is a must-see destination for visitors to the Dong Van Karst Plateau. After the merger with Tuyen Quang , the information for the northernmost point was changed to Lung Cu commune, Tuyen Quang province .
