editThe area Long Binh, Bien Hoa, originally occupied by the Long Binh post is as of 2008[update] largely given over to industrial use, known as Long Binh Techno Park, and a shopping complex that includes a large western-style Cora supermarket. When it opens, Line 1 of the HCMC Metro will have its terminus at Long Binh, District 9, Ho Chi Minh City; work commenced in February 2008 on the Long Binh depot.[2]
