The Nhật Lệ River is a river in Dong Hoi City, Quang Binh Province, Vietnam. The Nhat Le River is 152 km long, of which the Kien Giang River is 58 km in length, and the Long Dai River is 77 km long. The river is the confluence of the Kien Giang River in Le Thuy County and the Long Dai River in Quang Ninh County. The Nhat Le River runs northeast (unlike most of rivers in Vietnam, which run southeast) before emptying into the South China Sea. At the mouth of this river are several white fine sand beaches which are popular tourist attractions. In the history of Vietnam this river was the site of several wars between kingdom of Champa with Dai Viet as well as internal Dai Viet factions, especially Trinh-Nguyen Wars.
