Kiến Giang River

The Kiến Giang River (Vietnamese: Sông Kiến Giang) is a river in Lệ Thủy District, Quảng Bình Province, North Central Coast, Vietnam.

The upper part of this river is sloping, therefore rain water from Annamite Range flows violently to the lower part in rainy seasons (in autumn), causing floods in it basin.

Unlike other rivers in Vietnam which flow southeast, the Kiến Giang River flows northeast, and creates a narrow delta in Lệ Thủy District.

On the banks of the Kiên Giang River, some famous Vietnamese politicians were born and grown up, such as Võ Nguyên Giáp, Ngo Dinh Diem, and Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh.
