Nhieu Loc–Thi Nghe Channel

The Nhieu Loc–Thi Nghe Channel (Vietnamese: Kênh Nhiêu Lộc – Thị Nghè) is a waterway in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

[1][2] The 9 km (6-mile) long canal passes through the districts of 1, 3, Phú Nhuận, Tân Bình and Bình Thạnh and flows into the confluence of Văn Thánh Canal and Saigon River at where used to be the Saigon Naval Shipyard.

[3] The canal became heavily polluted following intense urban development in Ho Chi Minh City after 1975.

Buildings dumped domestic trash and wastewater into the canal, leading to a dark appearance and noxious odor.

This route includes two piers named: Thị Nghè and Nhiêu Lộc, it starts at Hoang Sa Street near Thị Nghè Bridge in District 1 and end at the pier near Lê Văn Sỹ Bridge in District 3.
