History

Location

Groups of Chinese from Cu Lap Pho, Bien Hoa migrated into Cho Lon (D5, D6) and Binh Dong wharf (D8) due to Tay Son’s attack.

The site location used to be a dangerous spot famous for drug dealers and thefts, fortunately, the area is more safe now and become a ideal place to live in.

The citizens here used to be merchants along Canal River in the old days but now most of them are workers for the nearby factories.

Busiest marketplace for vendors from the West, brick buildings appeared alongside Kinh Te (Cau Hu canal nowadays)

Alongside sturdy brick buildings, enroached and spontaneous houses are being built throughout the growth of Binh Dong wharf

The construction of flour factories replacing old rice mills

New apartments and constructions site replacing old brick houses.

Houses in alleys are being rebuilt into sturdy houses. Most of enroached houses have been removed.

People in Binh Dong wharf have lived in alleys for many years dating back to when Tau Hu canal is the busiest marketplace for merchants. Alley have emerged into their style of living such as using the alley roads as it their properties due to the lack of space in their own houses. There are many uses for the “shared space” in the alley like parking, selling food, gathering, coffee shops,...

These activities can take up half the width of the alley, therefore, although many alley are 4-4,5m wide, ambulances or fire trucks have a difficult time to enter the alleys. This is a threat to the safety of the dwellers area.
