A book coffee shop has opened its doors to the public in the public park for children at the An Hoa 4 residential area of Son Tra District’s An Hai Bac Ward.

The 103.5m² coffee shop, built at a cost of around 1 billion VND, was funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).  The venue offers a wide range of healthy juices and coffee, and it features a room for reading books, newspapers and magazines. 

The family of Ms Tran Thi To Nga from the An Hoa 4 residential area has won the bid to operate and conduct business activities at the newly-built coffee shop under the supervision of the local community.

Under the city’s plan up to 2020, Son Tra District will be allowed to build 9 sporting and cultural centres, 6 sports areas, and one cultural house for local residents.
