Dĩ An

South-eastern Asia

Dĩ An is a former city of Bình Dương Province in the Southeast region of Vietnam, about 20 kilometres north of central Ho Chi Minh City, which was formerly called Saigon. It is 1,706 kilometres by rail from Hanoi and covers 60 square kilometres. The city consists of seven wards: Dĩ An, An Bình, Bình An, Bình Thắng, Đông Hòa, Tân Bình and Tân Đông Hiệp. It is an important destination of the national railway, with two stations, Dĩ An and Sóng Thần, and it is the proposed junction of the Trans-Asian Railway line that would cross the Cambodian border near Lộc Ninh. The area tram factory is the largest in South Vietnam, and the city houses the largest bus station in Vietnam, the New Eastern Bus Station. During the Vietnam War Dĩ An was the headquarters of the American 1st Infantry Division, nicknamed the Big Red One.
