Dong Anh district is the northern gateway to the capital city of Hanoi, with 24 subordinate administrative units. This is where many arterial roads converge. In the district, there are 2 railway lines running through, which are the lines connecting the center of Hanoi with Thai Nguyen province and Lao Cai province. Especially, the district is 13km from Noi Bai International Airport – the commercial gateway to the world, which has created many advantages for Dong Anh to develop in all aspects of economy and society.
