Historically, Haiphong was the first place in Vietnam and [[Mainland Southeast Asia]] to get [[electricity]]. In the imperial era of [[Đại Việt]], the [[Bạch Đằng River]] in Haiphong was a place of many legendary victories, led by now-legendary commanders [[Ngô Quyền]] and [[Trần Hưng Đạo]]. In the 16th century, [[Mạc dynasty]] promoted the coastal settlement as a secondary capital, growing to become an important port town of [[Đàng Ngoài]]. After the [[French conquest of Vietnam]], in 1888, the president of the [[French Third Republic]], [[Marie François Sadi Carnot|Sadi Carnot]], promulgated a decree to establish Haiphong as one of the principal cities of [[French Indochina]]. From 1954 to 1975, Haiphong served as the most important maritime city of [[North Vietnam]]. It was one of the directly controlled municipalities of a reunified Vietnam with [[Hanoi]] and [[Ho Chi Minh City]] in 1976. In the 21st century, Haiphong is under active [[land reclamation]], the most recent effort being the construction of [[South Đình Vũ dike]] in 2022. Haiphong is a popular seaside vacation spot and known for biological reserves in [[Cát Bà Island]]. For its extensive port, the city hosts the headquarters of the [[Vietnam People's Navy]]. [[Royal poinciana]] are commonly associated with Haiphong in Vietnamese culture. ==History== ===Dynastic Vietnam=== Modern-day Haiphong was the home of Lê Chân, one of the female generals under the command of the [[Trưng Sisters]] who rose against Chinese domination in 40 AD and ruled until their defeat in 43 AD. Lê Chân was known to have established the ''Hải tần Phòng thủ'' (“Defenced Sea-coast”) during the war against general [[Ma Yuan (Han dynasty)|Ma Yuan]] of the [[Han dynasty]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://anhp.vn/nu-tuong-le-chan--va-dau-an-hai-tan-phong-thu-d24921.html | title=Nữ tướng Lê Chân và dấu ấn Hải Tần Phòng Thủ }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://haiphong.gov.vn/tin-tuc-su-kien/Chuong-trinh-FamtripHai-tan-Phong-thu---Goc-nhin-moi-tiep-tuc-gioi-thieu-nhieu-dia-danh-lich-su-va-am-thuc-Hai-Phong-87096.html | title=Chương trình Famtrip"Hải tần Phòng thủ - Góc nhìn mới" tiếp tục giới thiệu nhiều địa danh lịch sử và ẩm thực Hải Phòng | Cổng Thông tin điện tử thành phố Hải phòng }}</ref> Centuries later under the reign of [[Nguyễn dynasty|Nguyễn]] Emperor [[Tự Đức]], the area earned the appellation: '''''Hải'''-Dương thương-chính quan-'''phòng''''' ("The trading defensive area of [[Hải Dương Province]]"). [[File:Rue chinoise, Haiphong, Tonkin.jpg|thumb|left|A street in the late 19th century]] By the 19th century, at the end of Tự Đức's reign, the [[Hang Kenh|Hang Kenh Communal House]] in what is now the city's [[Le Chan District]] was made the administrative seat of [[An Dương District]], restoring its regional importance.<ref name="hphtourism-culture">[http://www.haiphongtourism.gov.vn/about-hai-phong/haiphongs-culture/a.html Haiphong's Culture] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170629061433/http://www.haiphongtourism.gov.vn/about-hai-phong/haiphongs-culture/a.html |date=2017-06-29 }}. HaiphongTourism.gov.vn</ref> The area by then had developed into a sizable commercial port. At the eve of the French conquest in 1881, a [[1881 Haiphong typhoon|typhoon]] ravaged the area, killing about 3,000 people in and around Haiphong. Despite the damages, Haiphong was developed by the French to serve as [[French Indochina|Indochina]]'s main naval base over the ensuing decades. ===Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Vietnam War=== {{See also|Operation Rolling Thunder|Operation Linebacker |Operation Linebacker II}} Following the defeat of [[Empire of Japan|Japan]] in [[World War II]], Vietnamese nationalists agitated for independence against French return. French forces landed in Haiphong and encountered resistance which resulted in the deaths of three French soldiers. In retaliation, the French ships, among them the cruiser [[French cruiser Suffren|''Suffren'']], [[Haiphong incident|shelled the city]], setting it ablaze<ref>''Vietnam'' by [[Spencer C. Tucker]], page 47. "On 23 November DebeS delivered an ultimatum to the Vietnamese at Haiphong, ordering them to withdraw from the French section of the city, the Chinese quarter, and the port. He gave them only two hours to reply. When the time was up the French subjected the Vietnamese positions to air, land, and sea bombardment, the bulk of the firepower coming from the three- and eight-inch guns of the French Navy Cruiser Suffren. Only military targets were destroyed and not the Vietnamese quarter as some have claimed. Estimates of the number killed in the shelling and ensuing panic vary widely. Casualties up to 20,000 have been cited. French Admiral Battet later said that no more than 6,000 Vietnamese had died, but in 1981 [[Vũ Quốc Uy|Vu Quoc Uy]], then chairman of the Haiphong municipal committee, told Stanley Karnow that the figure was only 500 to 1,000 dead.

Major products include fish sauce, beer, cigarettes, textiles, paper, plastic pipes, cement, iron, pharmaceuticals, electric fans, motorbikes, steel pipes and ships and out-sourcing software implementation.<ref name="GSO09"/> Most of these industries have been growing significantly between 2000 and 2007, with the exceptions of the cigarette and pharmaceutical industries. Shipbuilding, steel pipes, plastic pipes and textiles are among the industries with the most rapid growth.<ref name="GSO09"/> There are also growing industries supplying products used by existing industries in the city. PetroVietnam set up a joint-venture PVTex with textile manufacturer [[Vinatex]] to build Vietnam's first polyester fiber plant in Haiphong. The factory will use by-products from oil-refining and reduce reliance on imported materials.<ref>{{Cite news| title = PVTex to operate first polyester fiber project early 2011| newspaper = The Saigon Times| url = http://english.thesaigontimes.vn/Home/business/other/10257/| date = 2010-05-14| access-date = 2011-07-06| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111006070103/http://english.thesaigontimes.vn/Home/business/other/10257/| archive-date = 2011-10-06| url-status = dead}}</ref> 270,600 people were employed in Haiphong's industry. 112,600 industrial jobs were created between 2000 and 2007.<ref name="GSO09" /> ==== Agriculture, forestry and fishery ==== Despite its status as a city, around one third of Haiphong's area or 52,300 ha (as of 2007) are used for agriculture. Rice is the most important crop, taking up around 80% of the agricultural land with an output of 463,100 tons in 2007.<ref name="GSO09">General Statistics Office (2009): ''Socio-economic Statistical Data of 63 Provinces and Cities, Vietnam''. Statistical Publishing House, Hanoi</ref> Other agricultural products include maize, sugar and peanuts.<ref name="GSO09" /> Haiphong has a relatively large fishing sector with an output of 79,705 tons (2007). Gross output has almost doubled between 2000 and 2007, mostly due to fast growth in aquaculture, which made up 60% of gross output in 2007. Despite its coastal location, sea fish contribute relatively little to the sector (around one fourth). [[Nam Định Province]] and [[Thái Bình Province]] have much larger fishing sectors and even the inland [[Hải Dương Province]] has a larger gross output from fishing than Haiphong.<ref name="GSO09" /> As of 2007, 315,500 were employed in agriculture and fishery, a significant decrease from 396,300 in 2000. However, these sectors still account for almost a third of total employment in Haiphong, a larger share than industry.<ref name="GSO09" /> However, gross output in both agriculture and fishery have been growing significantly between 2000 and 2007. ==Demographics== Haiphong is the third most populous city in Vietnam, with a population of 2.103.500 for the metropolitan area (2015), encompassing an area of {{cvt|1,507.57|km2}}, 46,1% of population reside in the urban districts.<ref name="state-bgnote">{{cite web|url=https://2009-2017.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/4130.htm|title=Background Note: Vietnam|author=Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs|publisher=U.S. Department of State|date=May 27, 2010|access-date=2010-06-21}}</ref> The gender distribution is half female (50.4%).<ref name="census09mf">[http://www.gso.gov.vn/default_en.aspx?tabid=515&idmid=5&ItemID=9813 The 2009 Vietnam Population and Housing census: Major findings].

Highway 356 passes west–east from the Route 5/10 junction through Haiphong's city center all the way to the coast. A connecting road from route 5 to route 18 links Haiphong with [[Quảng Ninh Province]]. In 2015, the new highway connecting Haiphong with Hanoi was completed; this is the most modern highway in Vietnam and reduces the trip by one hour as compared to the previous route.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vidifi.vn/english/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4:hanoi-%E2%80%93-hai-phong-expressway-project&catid=3&Itemid=65|title=Hanoi – Hai Phong Expressway Project|last=Administrator|website=www.vidifi.vn}}</ref> Within the city there are several long-distance bus depots: Niem Nghia, Vinh Niem, and Thuong Ly. A new highway route was completed in 2016. From Hanoi to Haiphong and back, it now takes less than two hours to reach. It has also shortened the distance from Haiphong to Thai Binh, Hai Duong, Hung Yen. Tourists can easily catch a coach from Niem Nghia bus station to Hanoi or Cat Ba island, either Quang Ninh, or South of Vietnam. === Airports === The main airport serving Haiphong is [[Cat Bi International Airport]] with three flights daily to Ho Chi Minh city. In April 2011, Vietnam Airlines launched routes to Da Nang with 5 flights a week. An international airport for Haiphong, situated in Tien Lang district, is in the planning stages; if realized it would become the largest airport in northern Vietnam. ===Seaports=== [[File:Container Ship at the Hai Phong International Container Terminal 01.jpg|thumb|Moored container ship waiting to return to sea]] Haiphong port is one of the largest ports in Vietnam and south-east Asia as a whole. The [[Hai Phong Port|Port of Haiphong]] on the [[Cấm River (Vietnam)|Cấm River]] is divided into three main docks: Hoang Dieu (Central terminal) located near the city's center, Chua Ve, and Dinh Vu both farther downstream to the east.<ref name="hphportmaps">{{cite web|url=http://www.haiphongport.com.vn/GeneralInfo/PortMaps.aspx|title=Haiphong Port: Maps|access-date=2011-04-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110821044844/http://www.haiphongport.com.vn/GeneralInfo/PortMaps.aspx|archive-date=2011-08-21|url-status=dead}}</ref> Several ferry terminals connect Haiphong with the neighboring [[Cát Hải District|Cát Hải]] and [[Cát Bà Island|Cát Bà]] Islands; Ben Binh Ferry terminal is located near the city center while Dinh Vu Ferry is located on a spit of land on the coast. The government had approved the plans to build an international port in Lach Huyen – 15 kilometers from the current port. Once completed this will be one of the deepest ports in Vietnam, with a [[Draft (hull)|draft]] of 14m, capable of receiving ships up to 100.000 [[Deadweight tonnage|DWT]]. ===Railway=== [[Haiphong station]] built in 1902 is the eastern terminus of the [[Kunming–Hai Phong Railway]], also known as the [[Yunnan]]–Vietnam Railway. Built at by the [[French Indochina|French]] during their occupation, the railway once connected Haiphong to the city of [[Kunming]] in Yunnan, [[China]], although service along the Chinese portion of the line is currently suspended. Rail travel from Haiphong with connections to the rest of the [[Rail transport in Vietnam|Vietnamese railway network]] is via Hanoi. Passenger trains run daily from 6AM until 6PM from Hai Phong city to the capital Hanoi and back. The travel time between the two cities by rail is approximately three hours. ==Cuisine== {{Unreferenced section|date=August 2024}} Hai Phong specialties are known throughout Vietnam for their seafood dishes. Seafood restaurants in the Do Son area are famous for having very fresh shrimp, crab, fish, and squid at affordable prices. The seafood processing style in Hai Phong is simple, emphasizing the essence and freshness of ingredients, not spices. Dishes such as bánh đa cua (red noodle soup with crab), bún cá (fish rice noodle soup), bánh mỳ que cay (spicy stick-bread), cơm cháy hải sản (crispy rice cracker with seafood), nem cua bể (square crab spring rolls) are notable and popular dishes. These dishes can be found on the streets of other places like Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, but enjoying them on the Flamboyant City (the other name of Haiphong City) is still the most ideal because of the choice of raw ingredients and cooking secrets of local chefs. Hai Phong cuisine has been promoted to Europe at the [[Brest Maritime Festival#2008 edition|Brest Maritime Festival 2008]] (France) and resonated greatly. Hai Phong also has many other dishes such as mantis shrimp hot pot, bean sprouts salad, sủi dìn, bánh bèo (Haiphong's version, which is different from Hue's version). ==Notable people== * [[Mạc Đăng Dung]] (1483–1541), king of ''Đại Việt'' country, the founder of the [[Mạc dynasty]] * [[Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm]] (1491–1585), thinker, poet, prophet, [[Cao Dai]] religion saint * [[Mai Trung Thu]] (1906–1980), painter * [[Trần Văn Cẩn]] (1910–1994), painter * [[Văn Cao]] (1923–1995), musician, poet, painter and composer of the national anthem of Vietnam ''[[Tiến Quân Ca]]'' * [[Trà Giang]] (born 1942), film actress (born in [[Quảng Ngãi Province]], grew up and schooled in Haiphong) * [[:vi:Quang Thắng|Quang Thắng]] (born 1968), actor and comedian * [[Wong Kwok-hing]] (born 1949), [[Hong Kong]] [[trade unionist]] and a former member of the [[Legislative Council of Hong Kong]] (2004–2016) * [[Phan Thị Hà Thanh]] (born 1991), artistic gymnast, first gymnast to win a world medal for Vietnam gymnastics (2011) * [[:vi:Thu Phương|Thu Phương]] (born 1972), pop singer and Haiphong native;
