The Thạch Hãn River is a river in n Quang Tri province, Vietnam. It rises in the Annamite Mountains, and enters the South China Sea east of Dong Ha. It is approximately 170 miles long, with two main tributaries and with several branches to the sea.[1]
Tributaries[]
The Thach Han river is formed by the confluence of two rivers which rise in the western highlands of Vietnam; the Daktong, which flows from the south-west through Da Krong District, and the Rao Quan, which rises in the mountains north of Khe Sanh. In the plains the river is joined by three main left bank tributaries; the Ai Tu, the Vinh Phuoc, and the Hieu, known in its upper reaches as the Cam Lo. The river enters the sea at Cua Viet, east of Dong Ha city. The Thach Han is also connected by distributaries to the Ben Hai river to the north, marking what used to be the Demilitarized Zone, and the O Lau to the south, which reaches the sea at the Tam Giang lagoon.
