The Yên River (vi|sông Yên), also known as the Thạch Bồ River[1] (vi|sông Thạch Bồ), is a river of Quảng Nam province and Da Nang, Vietnam.[2] It is formed by the split of the Vu Gia into the Yên and the Bình Phước on the boundary between Đại Lộc and Điện Bàn in Quảng Nam.[3] It flows for 22 kilometres into Da Nang until the boundary between Hòa Vang and Cẩm Lệ, where it joins the Túy Loan to form the Cầu Đỏ.[4]
In colonial times, the An Trạch irrigation dam was built across the river in Hòa Vang district, Da Nang. Every year, fish - especially sardines - migrate to the area to lay their eggs, where local fishers catch them for food.[1] [5]
