Administrative changes to know
Former Can Gio district has been reorganised into new communes of HCMC since 1 July 2025; "Can Gio" remains the common name.
After 1 July 2025 the district level was removed; new addresses show only the commune or ward and the province or city. Locals and drivers still use old names, so for Can Gio write your address as you know it or share a map location.

Rung Sac is explored by boat through mangroves; Monkey Island has wild monkeys, so secure your belongings.

Tips for Can Gio
Besides the Binh Khanh ferry, work has begun on the Can Gio bridge, which will replace it once complete. Bring a hat, sunscreen and water as the coast paths have little shade. Monkeys on Monkey Island grab belongings, so stow glasses and small bags first.
