Bien Hoa
A town a few miles West of Long Binh. Home of the Bien Hoa Airfield. At one
time it was the busiest airport in the world. Van wanted some photos of Bien
Hoa so I went out one day and had a very nice time exploring the town.

The Water Tower which used mark the entrance to Bien Hoa. However now Bien Hoa
stretches all the way to Long Binh. In fact Long Bien Post is now the Bien Hoa
Economic District II.

Bien Hung Theater. After the war the name was changed to Na Ham Theater, then a couple of years ago it was
changed to "Trung Tam Van Hoa Thong Tin", which means "The Center of Cultural Information". More information
from Huong and Perry.

Large building near the river, I was not sure what it is untill Perry wrote and told me a friend,
Huong, said it was the Dong Nai Province Committee. (The Government of Dong Nai Province). Thank
you Perry and Huong.

A church across the circle from the large building above.

Nguyen Du School along the river, across from the church, next to the Peoples Committee and behind the
school is the river. During the war this was a school for boys, grade 1 thru 5 however in 1967 5 girls
were admitted. Huong was one. Now it is a primary school for girls and boys.

Bridge across a branch of the Dong Nai River, going Southeast out of Bien Hoa.

Crossing the bridge we notice the rail road tracks. The train also shares the
bridge.
|
|
|
The green building is where a person is stationed who stops traffic when the
train is aproaching.

A second bridge across the Dong Nai River. This is also a road/railroad bridge.
