History
Its name, Móng Cái (硭街市, /mong:gaai/), comes from Yue Chinese (commonly referred to as Cantonese for the entire branch) and means "mong market". The name reflects the conditions of the settlement along this coastal area during the Middle Ages, when the Nùng, Tày and especially the Tanka communities lived together there.
Located on the Sino–Vietnamese frontier, Móng Cái sits on the Southern bank of Beilun River across from Dongxing city of China's Guangxi Autonomous Region. It had a population of about 108,553 in 2019. One of these areas is the Trần Phúc ward.
