heads up: district names changed in 2025 (so maps look weird)

Lv.5hanoi2saigon Views 97 Comments 2

If addresses look confusing, this is why. From July 1 2025 HCMC merged with Binh Duong and Ba Ria-Vung Tau, and the district (quan) level was scrapped. It's wards now.

The old D1 center is now Saigon ward and a few others, for example.

Thing is, everyone still says D1, D7, D2. Even the people who live in district 2 thao dien still call it D2.

Map apps show a mix of old and new names so don't panic if your hotel address doesn't say District 1 anymore.
