History

According to Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư , before the Later Lê Dynasty, the entire area of modern Bắc Ninh province was called Võ Ninh canton [note 2] (Võ Ninh châu, 武寧洲), belonging to Bắc Giang prefecture (Bắc Giang phủ, 北江府).

Around the years of Quang Thuận, [note 3] the court issued a decree to merge two adjacent districts Quế Dương and Võ Giàng to become Quế Võ rural district (Quế Võ huyện, 桂武縣), belonging to Kinh Bắc garrison (京北承宣, Kinh Bắc thừa tuyên).

On February 13, 2023, the Standing Committee of the Vietnam National Assembly issued Resolution 723/NQ-UBTVQH15, [3] which took effect from April 10, 2023. Accordingly, the entire area of Quế Võ rural district has been officially converted into Quế Võ town (桂武市社, thị xã Quế Võ). [4]

Geography

Currently, Quế Võ town includes 20 commune-level sub-divisions.

Quế Võ town covers an area of 155,11 km². In particular, all people are registered as Kẻ Kinh.

Demography

As of 2023, Quế Võ town had a population of 223,964. [5] [6]

Culture

In early March 2025, Quế Võ town suddenly attracted attention on international travel forums as a top trending destination [7] due to the positive effect of MV Bắc Bling performed by songstress Hòa Minzy. According to her special sharing, she called for the help of Meritorious Artist Xuân Hinh and 300 hundreds of Lạc Xá villagers [8] [9] to make the MV with the wish to promote the customs of her hometown.
