Cẩm Phả, Industrial port city in Quảng Ninh, Vietnam

Cẩm Phả extends along the northeastern coast of Vietnam, encompassing 486 square kilometers of land with mountains, islands, and coastal regions at 70 meters elevation.

The French coal company SFCT started managing regional coal resources in 1886, establishing Cẩm Phả as a major industrial center during the colonial period.

The name Cẩm Phả originates from Hanese text meaning 'splendor and spaciousness', first used by Tanka people to describe a stone structure near Hạ Long Bay.

Located 180 kilometers from Hanoi and 140 kilometers from the Chinese border, Cẩm Phả serves as a strategic transportation hub in the Northern growth triangle.

Ben Do fish market operates as the largest wholesale seafood center in the region, where hundreds of boats gather each morning for trading activities.
