According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hai Phong, Hai Phong has a dense river network, the largest river density in the North, with more than 50 large and small rivers, of which 16 are main rivers, the most famous of which are Bach Dang River, Cam River, Lach Tray River, Van Uc River and Thai Binh River. Therefore, Hai Phong is called the city of rivers, the city of bridges. These rivers not only carry many cultural and historical values but also play an important role in the socio -economic development of the city.
The rivers in Hai Phong have long been “witnesses” of history. Long ago, female general Le Chan chose the fertile alluvial land along the banks of the Cam River to reclaim and establish An Bien village, the predecessor of today’s Hai Phong City.
Bach Dang River is the most legendary, sacred and heroic river in Vietnam, associated with three famous battles.
Cam River is a symbol of the harmony between the city's past, present and bright future.
Three river landscape corridors: Cam River, Lach Tray River and Van Uc River will be economic and service development corridors, and also the focus of Hai Phong river tourism development.

At the workshop, delegates explained that the main reason hindering the development of Hai Phong river tourism is the poor waterway transport infrastructure. Hai Phong's ports and wharves are general and cargo ports, there are no international marinas, no cruise ship ports, and there are no wharves at many destinations. Some waterways have not been dredged regularly, leading to sedimentation, affecting the circulation of tourist vehicles.
In addition, Hai Phong does not have a strategy, planning and plan for the development of river tourism in a synchronous manner. The river landscape for tourism development has not been properly invested. Cultural, historical, religious, community activities, ecological, riverside entertainment and recreation experiences have not been developed.
Based on the assessment of potential and current situation, experts have proposed strategic directions for developing waterway tourism in Hai Phong: It is necessary to soon develop a master plan for developing waterway tourism, identifying key routes, stops, check-in points, and reception centers. At the same time, it is necessary to upgrade technical infrastructure, from dredging waterways, building wharves, ports to accompanying service systems such as: restaurants, hotels, experience areas, riverside art lighting, etc.

On the other hand, Hai Phong needs to focus on products that exploit the cultural and historical depth associated with rivers; build river and sea tours connecting the inner city with Cat Ba; design tourist boats in a unique style that reflects the identity of the port city. Each river must be a “vivid tourism product”, telling its own story, associated with diverse landscapes and experiences.
Forming inter-provincial river tours will help enhance the experience for tourists, while contributing to sustainable regional economic development. In addition, it is necessary to promote communication to promote the image of Hai Phong river tourism on digital platforms, organize riverside cultural festivals, strengthen public-private cooperation to call for investment from large corporations, creating momentum for the tourism industry to develop dramatically...
