== Geography ==
Vũ Quang is an area of steep mountains and dense [[rainforest]] in [[Hà Tĩnh Province]] of Vietnam's [[North Central Coast]]. It is a very wet, hot area, whose mountains trap moisture coming in from the [[South China Sea]]. This creates a very stable but inhospitable climate. It rains continually in the rainy season, and in the dry season there is much fog; consequently most surfaces are algae-coated and slippery. The local hunters prefer to stay out of the forest, setting snares and using dogs to chase animals into more accessible areas.

It rains continually in the rainy season, and in the dry season there is much fog; consequently most surfaces are algae-coated and slippery. The local hunters prefer to stay out of the forest, setting snares and using dogs to chase animals into more accessible areas.
