Từ Liêm, Administrative region in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Từ Liêm is a rural district in Hanoi that spreads over a large area, mixing residential neighborhoods with schools, universities, and business zones. The area blends quieter, less built-up spaces with modern facilities, forming its own administrative region.
The district came from an administrative reform in December 2013, when it was split into two separate urban areas. This reorganization significantly changed the structure of local governance and marked a turning point in the area's development.
Schools and universities scattered through the area shape daily life, including international institutions that draw families from around the world. These educational spaces create a more open character and influence how neighborhoods feel and function.
The Mỹ Đình Bus Station is the main transportation hub connecting the area to many places across Vietnam. Early morning or late afternoon are the best times to travel, when roads are less crowded.
The Vietnam National Convention Center, Hanoi Museum, and Mỹ Đình National Stadium are all located here, forming a concentrated zone of major national facilities. This cluster of large buildings gives the area special importance within the capital.
