District 12

District 12 is an urban area in northwestern Ho Chi Minh City that mixes older residential neighborhoods with modern office buildings and green spaces. The area is connected by major roads and smaller streets that link different parts of the district together.

This district was once a quiet residential area until 2001, when a major software park was established and transformed the place. That shift brought technology companies and made it an important hub for digital growth.

Local pagodas and temples scattered throughout the district serve as gathering places where residents come together for festivals and daily prayers. These spaces show how Buddhist traditions remain woven into everyday life here.

The area is accessible by public buses from downtown, with several routes serving the main locations. It helps to have a map or phone navigation since the streets branch in many directions and the district is fairly spread out.

The district is home to a significant technology park that draws companies with special tax benefits and developed infrastructure. This focus on tech innovation makes it an unexpected hub for digital work within what looks like a residential area.
