Located east of Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai is one of the most important economic hubs in the country, thanks to its privileged location adjacent to the Ho Chi Minh City Port and Tan Son Nhat International Airport. There are many international factories and warehouses located around the city and in surrounding areas.
The city of Bien Hoa, the biggest city in the province, is home to a number of bazaar-styled markets and shopping malls. Western chain restaurants and grocery stores as well as various entertainment options can be expected in this fast-growing city.

Dong Nai river is ideal for a cruise to admire the villages located on the both sides of the banks while the beautiful Tri An waterfall, about 50kms (30 miles) from the city center, and Buu Long mountain and pagoda are worth a visit.
Beach lovers should visit Long Hai and Phuoc Hai beaches, about 100kms (62 miles) from Bien Hoa. Pomelo Tan Trieu village, a short drive away, is where you can taste local pomelos and other kinds of fruits.
