Aeon Mall Hue location details
Aeon Mall Hue is being developed in plot TM-DV7, section A of the An Van Duong New Urban Area in Hue City’s An Dong Ward. Hue City is located in Thua Thien Hue province, which is Vietnam’s third largest economic region.
The An Van Duong development area in the east of Hue City covers roughly 1,700ha and is planned to be developed as an administrative, commercial and residential hub. The Aeon Mall Hue site is located 3km from the city centre and 20 minutes’ drive from the Phu Bai international airport.

Because of its location, Aeon Mall Hue is expected to attract urban populations that use National Highway 1A and the ring road around Hue City. It will also attract visitors from nearby districts following the construction of the North-South highway, which is around 8km west of the shopping mall.
