Which wards are included in Xom Chieu ward (old District 4)?

Xom Chieu ward, the name that has been associated with the history of District 4, now has a new, large and promising appearance after the administrative merger. With its location advantage, high population density and increasingly complete infrastructure connections, this area attracts strong interest from investors. Let’s find out the details with Tuong Phat Land!

1. Administrative merger context of District 4 from July 1 2025

From July 1, 2025, Ho Chi Minh City will officially no longer have units such as districts, towns or provincial cities. Instead, a two-level urban government apparatus will be applied, including the city level (Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee) and the grassroots level (ward/commune People’s Committee).

This is an important step to streamline the management apparatus, implemented according to the Law on Organization of Local Government amended in 2023 and Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 dated June 16, 2025 of the National Assembly Standing Committee. After the arrangement, Ho Chi Minh City has a total of 168 commune-level administrative units, including 113 wards, 54 communes and 1 equivalent administrative unit, Con Dao special zone.

From this point on, familiar names such as District 1, District 4, District 7 or Ho Chi Minh City will be replaced by District 1, District 4, District 7 or Ho Chi Minh City. Thu Duc is still used for communication and regional management, but is no longer an official administrative unit. The conversion helps streamline the administrative system, while creating a foundation for more effective urban planning and management in the future.

2. Xom Chieu ward – Results of the 2025 administrative merger

In the above context, Xom Chieu ward was born! The new ward isn’t only larger in area but also has a further vision, ready to create a modern and civilized urban appearance in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City:

• Merger journey: Xom Chieu ward was established on the basis of merging the entire WARD 13, WARD 16, WARD 18 AND A PART OF THE NATURAL AREA WITH THE SAME POPULATION SCALE OF WARD 15 (District 4). After the merger, the ward has a total area of about 1.94 km², with a population of more than 58,000 people, becoming one of the most populous and large-scale wards in the city center.
• Distinctive identity: The name “Xom Chieu” is kept intact as a way to preserve the inherent cultural and historical values of the area. This place has long been associated with familiar landmarks such as Xom Chieu church, Nha Rong port, Xom Chieu market, etc., creating a community with deep traditions, blending with modern urban life.
• Development orientation: Thanks to its strategic location near the Saigon River and major roads such as Xom Chieu, Vinh Hoi or Ton Dan, the new Xom Chieu ward is expected to become a key residential – commercial – cultural center of the area.
