[In Pictures] Nha Rong Wharf site to be used for expansion of Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space

Tran Luu Quang, member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, announced in a recent conference that the city had previously allocated land at Nha Rong Wharf area to an investor for a commercial housing project. However, the Standing Board of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee has now agreed to cancel the project to reserve the land for expanding the Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space — one of the city’s future symbolic works.

Nha Rong Wharf, which is now the Ho Chi Minh Museum – Ho Chi Minh City Branch, is not only a special national relic site but has also been a cultural symbol and a source of pride for the city’s residents for more than a century.

According to the Secretary of the City Party Committee, the Nha Rong Wharf area will be re-planned as an open space integrating parks, public service areas, and cultural activity zones, while the Nguyen Tat Thanh road will be expanded to improve infrastructure connectivity between the central area and surrounding districts. “The economic value of the project is significant, but in terms of legality and long-term development orientation, the city must prioritise cultural space and community interests,” he said.

Nha Rong Wharf — now the Ho Chi Minh Museum – Ho Chi Minh City Branch — marks the historic event of June 5, 1911, when the young patriot Nguyen Tat Thanh left the country aboard the ship Amiral Latouche-Tréville to seek a path for national salvation. Beyond its historical significance, it has long been a cultural emblem and a source of pride for the people of Ho Chi Minh City.

Halting the housing project to expand the Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space is not merely an administrative decision but also a gesture of respect for the past and an effort to preserve the city’s memory amid constant urban transformation. Many residents of Ho Chi Minh City support this policy, believing that the Nha Rong Wharf area should become an open cultural space that showcases the city’s history, people, and identity to both domestic and international visitors.

The area designated for expanding the Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space is located on a prime riverside site along the Sai Gon River, adjacent to Nguyen Tat Thanh Street — a key gateway connecting the city centre with the southern urban area.

The city’s decision to terminate the housing project and redirect the land towards developing public cultural space is considered a sound move, simultaneously resolving legal bottlenecks and redefining the central area’s landscape under the principle of “culture – people – sustainable development.”
