Long Son – a new development highlight in the East of Ho Chi Minh City

Located approximately 80km from the center of Ho Chi Minh City, Long Son commune covers an area of ​​over 90km², notable for its rich mangrove forest ecosystem and potential for marine economic development.

This area is renowned for its traditional aquaculture and ecotourism linked to its natural landscape. It boasts the national historical site of Nha Lon (Big House) – a distinctive structure reflecting the cultural and religious life of the local people, creating a focal point for the development of spiritual tourism. Notably, Long Son is currently home to the Long Son Petrochemical Complex, one of the nation's key industrial projects, opening up opportunities to boost supporting industries, logistics, and services.

In recent years, Long Son has been positioned as a new growth hub thanks to its strategic location connecting to the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway, National Highway 51, and the Cai Mep - Thi Vai international seaport system, making a significant contribution to Ho Chi Minh City's strategy for sustainable marine economic development, urban industrial development, and tourism.

The mountainous terrain combined with mangrove forests creates a unique green space for the island commune.
