At the launching ceremony

Fashion Street of District 5 on Nguyen Trai Street is formed naturally based on the shopping habits of the people. From a few clothing and footwear shops, the street has gradually become a hub for many fashion shops, attracting a large number of business people, especially over the national holidays.

Fashion Street of District 5 has a favorable location due to its proximity to Nguyen Trai Street which is one of the important roads connecting District 1, District 5 and District 6.

The street has a length of nearly 2 kilometres, while it is 10m wide and boasts pavements 3-5m wide. It begins at Nguyen Van Cu, passing through Tran Phu intersection, Nguyen Duy Duong in the area of District 5’s four wards: ward 2, ward 3, ward 7, and ward 8.

The street hosts more than 200 shops with various products: clothing, footwear, bags, hats, and glasses.

The launch of the Fashion Street will help District 5 to promote and develop tourism services in the district, while also rearranging the business households, and improving the order of urban and environmental sanitation in the district.
