Khu pho 17
An Phu Ward has served as a residential and commercial district in eastern Ho Chi Minh City since the late 20th century. Now part of Thu Duc City, it occupies low-lying urban terrain in the Saigon River corridor. Luong Dinh Cua Street and Mai Chi Tho Boulevard form a major junction for motorbikes, cars and container trucks moving between central Ho Chi Minh City, Thu Thiem and the eastern districts. Towers, housing estates and construction sites mark the ward’s place in the metropolis’s rapid expansion. Saigon, the city’s former name, endures in the river’s name and in everyday usage, a reminder of the local identity that remains alongside large-scale redevelopment.

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.
