Ho Chi Minh City has a maze-like network of canals, including Lang The, Bau Nong, Tra, An Ha, Tham Luong, Cau Bong, Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe, Ben Nghe, Lo Gom, Te, Tau Hu, and Doi, which are step by step being dredged to make banks, upgrade roads along canals, and restore water quality.

When completed, this river landscape promises to be a unique highlight contributing to helping the city preserve the environment and develop tourism and trade - promoting the tradition of waterways of Saigon in the past.
