Thuận An

Thuận An is a provincial city in Bình Dương situated on flat terrain with low elevation. The city sits strategically on national highways that connect to Ho Chi Minh City and serve as major routes for regional commerce and transportation.

The region was originally inhabited by Xtiêng, Chơ Ro, Mnong, and Khmer Krom communities before transforming into urban space starting in the 17th century. Growth accelerated significantly in modern times, leading to its official city designation in 2020.

The First Full Moon Festival at Lady Thiên Hậu Pagoda draws thousands of visitors who enjoy local vegetarian dishes and observe traditional spiritual practices. The pagoda serves as a center for community gathering and religious life in the city.

The city is easily accessible via National Roads 13 and 14, which connect the southeastern region and allow smooth movement. Visitors should keep in mind this is an active industrial center, so early morning or late afternoon visits offer the most comfortable experience.

Major manufacturing facilities of well-known global brands operate here, shaping the urban landscape with modern industrial structures. The rapid transformation into an industrial hub reflects significant economic changes in the region over recent decades.
