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 supplying the system of protective moats around the citadel. Vinh River runs around behind Vinh market, runs along the Lam riverside road, then passes through the wards and communes of Vinh city 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. |
