Location within Hồ Chí Minh City

Tân Bình borders District 3, District 10, District 11, District 12, Tân Phú, Gò Vấp and Phú Nhuận. Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport is located in Tân Bình. Once the largest urban district of Hồ Chí Minh City, Tân Bình was partitioned to create Tân Phú District. Like Bình Thạnh, these districts comprise a vast residential area which grew organically for more than 40 years without any urban planning.
