The Thu Bồn River is a river in central Vietnam, located near Quang Nam Province. From its source near the border of Quang Nam and Quảng Ngãi provinces, it flows northwest through Bắc Trà My, Phú Ninh, Hiệp Đức and Quế Sơn districts; turning northeast, it forms the border between Đại Lộc district and Duy Xuyên district, before emptying into the Hội An.
It is one of the nicest waterways in Vietnam. As such, it has been repeatedly portrayed in poetry.
From Hoi An, you can rent a boat and stop at the beautiful villages located along the river.
