Trang Bang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trảng Bàng is a district in Tây Ninh Province, in southeastern Vietnam. It has a traditional artisan industry, and recently has opened an industrial zone for foreign investment. This town has a famous food called bánh canh Trảng Bàng, a kind of pork noodle soup and "Banh Trang Phoi Suong or Banh Trang Trang Bang", served with boiled pork, local herbs and vietnamese fish sauce.

Outside of Vietnam, it is most famous for the iconic and Pulitzer prize winning image of a nude Phan Thị Kim Phúc (who had torn off her burning clothes to survive the attack) and other vietnamese children fleeing a napalm attack on the village of Trang Bang alongside ARVN soldiers. The image was taken by the photographer Nick Ut.
