The Cấm River ( Vietnamese : Sông Cấm ) is a river in northern Vietnam . It is one of the shorter distributaries of the Thái Bình River but geographically important as Hai Phong , Vietnam's second largest port is located on the banks of this river.
1-850: The start of the Cấm River is the confluence of the Kinh Môn River and a smaller stream, the Hàn, in Hải Dương Province . From there it flows southeasterly, turning more easterly at Hai Phong before entering the Gulf of Tonkin as a wide estuary 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) farther downstream. The entire length of the river is 7 kilometres (4.3 mi). The Cấm is subject to frequent silting , requiring regular dredging to accommodate ships of greater than 5,000 tons.
