Phú Nhuận, Urban district in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Phú Nhuận is an urban district in Ho Chi Minh City organized into 13 administrative wards connected by streets. Many of these streets carry flower names, creating a distinct network that intersects near Phan Xich Long Street.
The area was established in 1955 as part of Tan Binh district within Gia Dinh Province. It became an independent district in 1975 following significant administrative reorganization.
The district is home to several religious buildings from the 19th century, including Tu Van Pagoda, Phu Long Pagoda, Ba Chuong Church, and Jamiul Muslimin Mosque. These places of worship serve different faith communities and remain active centers of prayer and reflection.
The district sits about 10 minutes from Tan Son Nhat Airport, with regular shuttle buses stopping at hotels along Nguyen Van Troi Street. Getting around is straightforward, and the area is accessible by various forms of transportation.
Thirteen streets in the district bear flower names, an unusual naming pattern that sets it apart from numerical or historical figure conventions found elsewhere. This system creates a memorable and distinctive character for the area.
