01What Is Phu My Hung?
Phu My Hung (Phú Mỹ Hưng) is a planned urban area in District 7, south of central Ho Chi Minh City. Wide roads, parks, a lake and well-kept residential blocks make it quieter and tidier than central District 1.
It is home to many international residents, especially from Korea, Taiwan and Japan, so you will find Korean restaurants, international supermarkets and English-friendly shops throughout the area.
02Getting There
- From District 1 — Usually 20–30 minutes by Grab car. Allow more time during the evening rush (5–7 PM).
- From Tan Son Nhat Airport — Roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic.
- Taxis — App-based rides such as Grab, Be and Xanh SM show the fare before you ride.
