On the morning of June 12, 2025, at the 9th session, the 15th National Assembly voted to pass a resolution on the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units in 2025. From 63 provinces and cities, the administrative map was rearranged into 34 provincial-level administrative units (including 28 provinces and 6 cities).

Accordingly, the boundaries, natural areas, and scale of each province and city have changed. The 4 extreme points of East - West - South - North also have changes in administrative boundary information.
