The New Location of Cau Giay Ward - The Connecting Hub of the West

After a complex ward merger, the new Cau Giay Ward holds a strategic central position, acting as the heart of Cau Giay District and an important gateway to the western region.

Administrative Boundaries and the Unification of Dynamic Areas

The ward was formed by merging parts of the area and population of 6 bustling wards: Dich Vong, Dich Vong Hau, Quan Hoa, My Dinh 1, My Dinh 2, and Yen Hoa, creating a new center for the district.

Cau Giay Ward Administrative Headquarters

The ward's administrative headquarters are located at:

Address: No. 96 Tran Thai Tong, Cau Giay Ward, Cau Giay District, Hanoi.

Duy Tan "Silicon Valley": Hanoi's Technology Hub

The most famous "specialty" of the ward is "Duy Tan Street" – the area dubbed Hanoi's largest concentrated information technology zone. This area gathers hundreds of technology companies, from large corporations like FPT and Viettel to countless startups, creating a vibrant and modern working environment.

The Cradle of Knowledge: The Nation's Largest Cluster of Universities

Cau Giay Ward has one of the highest concentrations of prestigious universities in the country, creating an incredibly vibrant intellectual space and student life.

Vietnam National University, Hanoi and Hanoi National University of Education

The ward is home to two "giants" in Vietnam's higher education system: Vietnam National University, Hanoi (with its large member universities) and Hanoi National University of Education. Along with these is the Academy of Journalism and Communication ("Journalism area"), forming one of the largest education and training complexes.

A Culinary Paradise for Students and Office Workers

With students and office workers as the two main demographics, the cuisine here is incredibly diverse. You can explore affordable, diverse student cuisine in the alleys off Xuan Thuy and Tran Quoc Vuong streets, or choose from upscale restaurants and cafes on Tran Thai Tong street catering to the office crowd.

Modern Transport Infrastructure and the Future with the Metro

Cau Giay Ward boasts a crucial transportation system with the Cau Giay - Xuan Thuy axis, Pham Hung Street (Ring Road 3), and Lang Street (Ring Road 2). In the not-too-distant future, when the Nhon - Hanoi Station metro line with Cau Giay Station becomes operational, the face of the area's public transportation will be elevated to a new level, although the "Cau Giay traffic jam" remains a challenge.
