The Cả River (Laotian: Nam Khan, Vietnamese: Sông Cả or better known as sông Lam or Lam River wikt:蓝) is a river in mainland Southeast Asia. It originates in the Loi Mountains of Laos, crossing Lao PDR's Xiangkhouang Province, Vietnam’s Nghệ An and Ha Tinh provinces and empties into the Gulf of Tonkin, on the North Central Coast of Vietnam, after a 612 km journey.[1] The Cả River zone is classified as 300 km by the Vietnam Geographical Survey.[2] The Bến Thủy bridge, crossing into Bến Thủy, Vinh, crosses the Cả River on its Cửa Hội estuary.
