Vĩnh Hưng is a ward in the city of Hanoi, Vietnam.
History
This area was originally Vĩnh Hưng Trang. In 1740, King Lê Hiến Tông ascended the throne and took the reign name Cảnh Hưng, so Vĩnh Hưng Trang was renamed Vĩnh Tuy commune.[3]
Previously, Vĩnh Tuy commune consisted of the villages of Thượng, Đoài, Tân Khai, Đông Thiên, and Trung Lập. In 1956, Trung Lập merged into Lĩnh Nam commune.[4] In 1982, the Vĩnh Tuy Đoài area was incorporated into Hanoi's inner city to form Vĩnh Tuy ward, belonging to Hai Bà Trưng district.[3][5]
On 6 November 2003, the Government issued Decree No. 132/2003/NĐ-CP.[1] about:
- Establishment of Hoàng Mai district in Hanoi.
- Establishment of Vĩnh Hưng Ward in Hoàng Mai District based on the entire 179.65 hectares of natural area and 11,382 inhabitants of Vĩnh Tuy commune in Thanh Trì district.
As of 31 December 2024, Vinh Hung ward has an area of 1.76 km2 and a population of 31,239 people.[6]
On 16 June 2025, the National Assembly decided to consolidate a portion of the natural area and population of Vĩnh Hưng,[7] Lĩnh Nam, and Thanh Trì wards (formerly Hoàng Mai district) and a portion of Vinh Tuy ward (formerly Hai Bà Trưng district) into a new ward named Vĩnh Hưng ward.[8]

Economy
The economic structure of Vĩnh Hưng ward is shifting towards urbanization, from agriculture and small-scale industries to the service, trade, and real estate sectors.[5]
The ward has a strong system of commercial centers, food and beverage services, and entertainment venues in new urban areas as well as in densely populated areas along Vĩnh Hưng, Lĩnh Nam, and Tam Trinh streets.[5][11]
Most agricultural and small-scale industrial land has been converted to residential land, public infrastructure, urban areas, and high-rise apartment buildings. Only a small, scattered area remains within the old residential areas, with production activities primarily focused on self-sufficiency.[5]
There are still some scattered mechanical, repair, and garment manufacturing facilities within the ward.[5]
Society
Education
Schools in the ward include Vinh Hung Primary and Secondary School, Thanh Trì Primary and Secondary School, Vĩnh Tuy Primary and Secondary School, and Lĩnh Nam Primary and Secondary School.

The ward organizes a traditional village festival from the 30th February to the 2nd February in the lunar calendar, associated with the worship of Thánh Nha Cát Đại Vương - the village's tutelary deity. The festival includes processions and traditional ceremonies. In addition, there are folk games such as chess, chicken fighting, carousel, pot smashing, and Quan họ singing, as well as performances of excerpts from Chèo opera.[5]
