Description
Bình Chánh is a rural district in the southwest of Ho Chi Minh City covering a vast land area. A network of rivers and channels flows through the region, linking it to the Mekong Delta and shaping the landscape.
History
The area developed over centuries as a rural region connected to the Mekong Delta. In 2003, portions of the district were transferred to the neighboring Bình Tân district to create new administrative divisions.
