Hanoi’s modern SW area viewed from overhead cameras

VietNamNet Bridge – The southern area of Hanoi, with apartment buildings, looks similar to Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and other Asian capitals.

This area includes apartment buildings of all kinds in the wards of Trung Hoa, Nhan Chinh in Cau Giay and Thanh Xuan districts. Less than 1km from the first elevated road in Vietnam, they opened in October 2012.

Since Hanoi expanded westward in the late 90s, the new urban area of Trung Hoa-Nhan Chinh is regarded as one of the first complex of commercial apartment buildings in Vietnam (2001-2006).

Earlier, the concept of high-rise buildings was not yet known by many people.

The Trung Hoa - Nhan Chinh project spans 30 hectares in the two wards of Trung Hoa (Cau Giay district) and Nhan Chinh (Thanh Xuan district). The population was estimated at 15,000 people but then the real number is several times higher.

Since then, a series of high-rise buildings have been developed around Trung Hoa-Nhan Chinh. This area has made changes to Hanoi's face.

Trung Hoa - Nhan Chinh is considered to be the trigger for development in western Hanoi.

Many other urban centers have been built in the city but Trung Hoa-Nhan Chinh is the only urban area that has access to other parts of the city since the belt road No. 3 was completed.

This urban area is located at the starting point of Thang Long Avenue, the western gateway of Hanoi.

Today administrative agencies, economic organizations and private enterprises are moving their headquarters to the southwestern area of the city. More high-rise buildings are being built in this area. At night this region is dazzling with many lights.
