Several roads and alleys in Ho Chi Minh City have been raised
by one to two meters as part of a city planning project, resulting in
many private houses in suburban areas being literally turned into
underground homes.
Such strange houses are easily spotted on newly-build roads such as
Pham Van Dong in Thu Duc District and Pham Van Chi and Lo Gom in
District 6.
In the dry season, it is stiflingly hot inside these homes; while
dirty, smelly water often spills into local houses during the rainy
season.
Some families have had to abandon their houses or put them up for sale
at low prices because they could not stand the situation.
Those who can’t leave have to suffer hardships. Just to enter and exit
their houses on a daily basis, they must creep, crawl, or use a ladder
