Tra Khuc River is the largest and most culturally rich river in Quang Ngai (now Kon Tum). This river has long been associated with the life and soul of the people of Quang in the past and present. If you want to find a place to feel the peace, simplicity, and genuine beauty of Quang Ngai, then the journey along the Tra Khuc River will be an unforgettable memory.
Tra Khuc River is located in the old Quang Ngai province - now Kon Tum, originating from the high mountains in the West, belonging to the Truong Son range. The river flows through the districts of Son Tay, Son Ha, Tu Nghia, Son Tinh, and finally the city of Quang Ngai, before emptying into the East Sea at Dai Co Luy estuary. Thanks to this journey, this river has become an important source of life for the people, contributing to the local economic development: from irrigation, transportation, fishing, to cultural and spiritual life.
For tourists, Tra Khuc River is not only a landscape but also a place to feel a peaceful, tranquil Quang, yet full of poetry. Along both sides of the river, each village, sandbank, coconut grove, cornfield,... creates a countryside painting that anyone who visits will remember forever.
