Route 1 from Ho Chi Minh to Ben Tre

We check the first route from Ho Chi Minh to Ben Tre City. You start from the city center of Ho Chi Minh to the Binh Chanh. Then, at the intersection of Binh Thuan, you turn to Highway 1. You continuously go straight about 16km through My Yen, and Vinh Loc, and to the Ben Luc Bridge.

After coming to the Ben Luc Bridge, you continue to run about 14km further, and crossing the Tan An bridge. You will reach the city of Tan An, Long Giang.  And, you go straight through Tan An city to Tien Giang province.

From Tien Giang province, go straight to the city of My Tho, Tien Giang. From My Tho, you continue to follow the Highway 60. In this direction, you will cross the Rach Meu Bridge and go about 13 km to Ben Tre City, Ben Tre Province.
