District 4 is a triangular island of about 4.18 km², the smallest of the old urban districts: the Saigon River on the northeast, the Bến Nghé channel facing District 1, and the Tẻ canal to the south.1 The Saigon Port is here, and towers such as Rivergate Residence and Icon 56 have gone up in the past decade.1 Since the 2025 reorganization it has been three wards, Vĩnh Hội, Khánh Hội and Xóm Chiếu, names that go back to the five wards it had before 1985.12

Some 199,000 people lived on it in 2022.1 Bến Vân Đồn, the road along the channel, has far more cafés than any other street here, and a few more trade from apartment-block units. Drinks at the small rooms started around 24,000₫ in March 2025.3

Local tip: Eat on Vĩnh Khánh first, then take the upper floor at Gentlemens Coffee on Vĩnh Hội, where attendants park your motorbike.3
