If Hanoi is defined by the Hong (Red) River and Hue by the Huong (Perfume) River, then Dong Nai River stands as a source of pride for Dong Nai.

This gentle waterway has borne witness to the many historical transformations of the Southeast region. Today, the vast potential of this river is being vigorously unlocked, ushering in a new era marked by dynamic riverside urban areas, large-scale ports, and bustling trade routes connecting to global markets.

Especially in the Dong Nai Provincial Master Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, the focus has been on developing riverside spaces into modern urban areas, high-class ecological tourist areas, and high-quality services. The province will utilize the Dong Nai River as a landscape axis, creating green spaces and promoting a green, sustainable economy. This plan will quickly become a reality when Dong Nai becomes a centrally-governed city with many breakthrough development mechanisms and policies.
