Huyện
A huyện , also known as rural district, in modern Vietnam is a second administrative subdivision of a province or municipality.
There are three administrative tiers of local government in Vietnam:
- First tier: provinces (tỉnh) and municipalities (thành phố trực thuộc trung ương);
- Second tier: provincial cities (thành phố trực thuộc tỉnh), town (thị xã), rural districts (huyện) and urban districts (quận);
- Third tier: communes (xã), township (thị trấn) and wards (phường).
