Bal Cattinon

Bal Cattinon belongs to the country of the Sông Lũy, a river that descends from the Di Linh highlands to the sea at Phan Rí. The river mouth was a port of the southern Cham principality of Panduranga. After the Nguyễn lords brought the region under their control in the late seventeenth century, Phan Rí continued as a trading port. Its river linked the dry coastal plain with the wooded hills of the interior.
