With its regional location as hub in Southeast Asia, its airport, harbour and the intersection of main roads, the metropolis is well connected within the domestic as well as the most important international markets. Located downstream of the Saigon-Dong Nai River with a relatively flat terrain, the city traditionally has a strong relationship to water. It is located at the north-eastern fringe of the Mekong Delta and its southern part is connected to the east sea. Major parts of the city are situated on low-lying marshy lands that are crossed by a complex network of canals and rivers. These topographic and geographic conditions make the city extremely sensitive to various flood sources.}, language = {en} }
