Tran Hung Dao Street

Tran Hung Dao, named after the renowned general and military strategist of the Tran dynasty, remains one of the most common street names in Vietnam. Almost every city or province boasts a street named in his honor.

Within Ho Chi Minh City, Tran Hung Dao Street is located in District 5, historically known as the Cho Lon area, though part of the street extends into District 1. Visitors can easily locate various accommodations along the street, including hotels such as Hoang Nam A, Toan Chau A, Fortune, Le Kha Anh Sao, Hanh Long, and Chau Vianco, all offering reasonably priced options.
For entertainment, the Dong Da Teenzone serves as a popular hangout for teenagers, featuring a cinema, karaoke services, cafes, and shopping areas.

Once the largest trading hub for the Chinese community in Vietnam, Cho Lon is rich in culinary offerings, particularly Chinese cuisine. Noteworthy dining spots along Tran Hung Dao Street include a renowned shrimp ball (ha cao) restaurant situated near the Tran Hung Dao-Nguyen Tri Phuong intersection, Dong Khanh buffet restaurant, and Hung Ki sui cao restaurant.
