Khu pho 14
An Phu Ward has served as an urban ward in eastern Ho Chi Minh City since 1997. It lies on the city’s expanding eastern side, close to the Saigon River and the newer Thu Thiem urban area. Major arteries including Mai Chi Tho Boulevard and the Hanoi Highway meet around An Phu, creating a heavily engineered setting of broad carriageways, flyovers and planted medians. These transport links connect central Ho Chi Minh City with its eastern districts and routes beyond the metropolis. The ward belonged to former District 2 until the creation of Thu Duc City in 2021, when three eastern districts were combined into one municipal city. Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known internationally as Saigon, is Vietnam’s largest city and a national economic centre.

Ho Chi Minh City stretches from the Saigon River through central District 1 to the mangrove-lined coast of Can Gio, encompassing intensely urban neighbourhoods and tidal wetlands. Formerly known as Saigon, it is Vietnam’s largest city and a fast-moving centre of commerce, street food, and contemporary culture. French colonial-era landmarks remain part of the city centre, including the Central Post Office and the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon. The Saigon River continues to shape the city’s waterfront districts, while Can Gio forms a markedly quieter southern edge.

Vietnam has served as a frontier between Chinese and Southeast Asian cultural spheres since the first millennium. This long, narrow country extends from the Red River delta in the north to the Mekong delta in the south, while the Annamite Range forms much of its western spine. Ha Long Bay’s limestone islands contrast with broad rice-growing lowlands. In central Vietnam, Huế was the seat of the Nguyễn dynasty, and Hội An retains the character of a historic trading port shaped by Asian and European commerce. Pho, regional noodle dishes and a lively coffee culture are part of daily life.
