Vietnam Undergoes Landmark Administrative Overhaul: As of July 1, 2025, Vietnam has implemented a sweeping administrative reform hailed as a “once-in-a-century” restructuring. The historic changes have redrawn the nation’s map, consolidating the number of provinces and centrally-governed cities from 63 down to just 34.
One of the most significant changes at the local level is changes to addresses as provinces, suburbs and ‘ward’s’ are either changed or eliminated. Although these changes have yet to be updated fully on google maps, Ho Chi Minh City district system iconic “District 1” and “District 3,” no longer exist in official administrative terms—though their cultural and historical identities remain strong. Hanoi and Hoi An have seen less change that visitors will notice.
The restructuring aims to streamline governance, improve administrative efficiency, and modernize Vietnam’s political geography.
