History

After the first Indo-China war in 1946, Bien Hoa suffered through a painful period of an industrial, societal and economic slowdown. It became a base for American Airforce during the Vietnam war and is still suffering from the after-effects of Agent Orange - a biological warfare system used by the Americans against which united front is being put up by international welfare organisations. Yet with the passage of time, it has managed to attain the status of an economic superpower by collecting foreign investment globally. The city is now a thriving metropolis filled with possibilities and development.
