The culture of Vietnam is one of the oldest in the Southeast Asia region. Although Vietnam lies
geographically in Southeast Asia, long periods of Chinese domination and influence has resulted in the emergence
of many East Asian characteristics in Vietnamese culture, and generally Vietnam is said to be a part of the East
Asian cultural sphere, known widely as Chinese cultural sphere.
Despite considerable foreign influence, Vietnamese people have managed to retain many distinct customs.
While Chinese culture has the largest influence on traditional Vietnamese culture, there is also a much smaller
influence from the Cham and later Western cultures, most notably of France, Russia and the United States.
In term of prehistory, most Vietnamese historians consider the ancient Dong Son Culture to be one of the
defining aspects of early Vietnamese civilization.
Vietnam’s population in 2006 was 84,402,966, with a population density of 253 people per km 2. Most
people live in or near the densely populous Red River or Mekong deltas.

environment met by the settlers as they moved further south, slightly different regional cultures began to emerge,
most notably between Northern and Southern Vietnam.
