From July 1, 2025, Long An, in line with national reforms, officially embarks on a new phase of development: comprehensive, strong, and full of expectations. Instead of the traditional 3-level management model, Long An province will manage 60 new commune-level administrative. This is not merely an administrative boundary adjustment but a strategic reform aimed at building a modern, streamlined, effective, and efficient governance framework, opening up fresh space for growth. The removal of the district level shortens decision-making processes, enhances administrative efficiency, and brings provincial policies closer to the people. At the same time, commune-level units will be empowered to foster innovation and adaptability in socio-economic development. From June 5, 2025, Long An Newspaper and Radio-Television Station will launch a new column, entitled “The Era of Rise,” on page 4, profiling all 60 newly established commune-level units resulting from mergers and consolidations. This series aims to provide readers with a comprehensive and in-depth look into the land and people of Long An.
Part 9: From Thanh Loi to My Yen, down Luong Hoa to An Ninh—Echoes of transformation in the land.
Alongside My Yen's rise in industry, commerce, and services, the journey from Luong Hoa to Thạnh Loi, following the Vam Co Đong river toward An Ninh—Long An's westernmost commune bordering Tay Ninh—tells the compelling story of a land in transformation.
Luong Hoa commune – Advancing in Industrial growth and high-tech agriculture
The new Luong Hoa commune was formed through the merger of Tan Buu and the former Luong Hoa commune. With a total area of 62.16 km² and a population of 23,308, this land holds immense potential for building a prosperous future. “Luong Hoa” is more than a name—it embodies the spirit of unity and harmony among its people, widely embraced to preserve local identity during development.
With distinct advantages in industry and high-tech agriculture, Luong Hoa is taking shape as a dynamic economic zone, striking a balance between modern progress and traditional values. New industrial zones are emerging, attracting investment and creating jobs, while high-tech agricultural models are being implemented to boost productivity and product quality. Located at the former Luong Hoa commune’s headquarters, the new administrative unit is being comprehensively planned to expand social amenities and improve quality of life. Luong Hoa is poised to become a promising destination—a proud, livable region where traditional values are preserved alongside new development trends.
My Yen commune – Poised for growth in commerce, services, and industry
My Yen commune is a newly established administrative unit formed from the merger of three former communes: Long Hiep, My Yen and Phuoc Loi — a vivid reflection of the nation’s vigorous drive for innovation in development. Covering an area of 29.23 km² and home to 49,248 residents, My Yen boasts abundant human resources and favourable conditions for socio-economic growth. The merger presents a valuable opportunity for the commune to leverage the inherent strengths of each locality, laying a solid foundation for comprehensive and sustainable development. My Yen is on the cusp of becoming a dynamic economic hub, following a development model focused on commerce, services, and industry. The decision to locate the administrative headquarters at the former My Yen site is a strategic one, supporting governance and day-to-day operations.

Thanh Loi commune - blending industrial development and high-tech agriculture
Formed from the merger of Thanh Hoa, Thanh Loi, and Luong Binh, the new Thanh Loi commune marks a pivotal milestone in the journey of reform and development. Spanning 96.52 km² and home to 24,037 people, Thanh Loi now embraces not only an expanded geographical scope but also a rich tapestry of historical, cultural, and traditional values—laying the groundwork for future transformation.
The merger of three former communes represents not merely an administrative boundary adjustment, but a significant opportunity to strengthen socio-economic linkages and unlock local advantages.

The establishment of Thanh Loi commune stands as a testament to collective consensus and determination to build a prosperous, sustainable locality—unlocking new opportunities for holistic development and improving both the economic and cultural well-being of its residents.
An Ninh commune – A vision for sustainable ecological development along the Vam Co Dong river
The birth of An Ninh commune opens a new chapter of development for a land rich in tradition and untapped potential. Formed through the merger of Loc Giang, An Ninh Dong, and An Ninh Tay, the new commune, home to 37,792 people across 57.69 km², is imbued with fresh vitality, blending natural beauty, cultural depth, and a shared aspiration for progress.
An Ninh is more than a newly created administrative unit—it is a reflection of unity and collective spirit. The name “An Ninh” evokes the heroic history and enduring resilience, winning strong public support and becoming a symbol of community cohesion. The commune’s headquarters, located at the former An Ninh Dong office, enjoys a central position with convenient transport links—serving as a vital “bridge” to surrounding areas and creating ideal conditions for socio-economic growth. Blessed with the scenic Vam Co Dong river, An Ninh has a unique foundation for pursuing ecological development. The commune envisions itself as a tranquil destination where visitors can immerse themselves in verdant landscapes and explore the distinctive culture of the Southern region. Beyond that, An Ninh is targeting a balanced development model combining sustainable industry and agriculture. Fertile fields, new industrial zones, and green residential areas will form a harmonious whole—making An Ninh both vibrant and environmentally friendly./.
