Lâm Đồng is a province of Vietnam located in the south of the Central Highlands. It borders Khánh Hòa to the east, Đồng Nai and Hồ Chí Minh City to the southwest, the South China Sea to the southeast, Đắk Lắk to the north, and Cambodia to the northwest.
Lâm Đồng is located on the three highest plateaus of the Central Highlands: Lâm Viên, Di Linh, and Bảo Lộc (formerly known as B'Lao), at an elevation of 1,500 meters above sea level. It is the only province in the Central Highlands that does not share an international border. The provincial capital, Đà Lạt City, is situated 300 km northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, 658 km south of Đà Nẵng, and 1,414 km from the capital, Hanoi, via National Route 1. In 2010, Lâm Đồng became the first province in the Central Highlands to have two provincial-level cities: Đà Lạt and Bảo Lộc.
