Vinh River is also called Con Moc River or Cua Tien River because it flows in front of Cua Tien Citadel of Nghe An. Vinh River is also the water source for the protective canal system around the citadel. Vinh River runs around behind Vinh Market, along the Lam River bank, then through Vinh City wards and communes such as Hung Thinh, Vinh Tan, Trung Do, and flows into Lam River. Over time, Vinh River has been polluted by urbanization. The current width of the river is about 4-5m. |
