Currently, the eastern region of the southern province of Dong Nai —specifically the communes of Xuan Loc, Xuan Phu, and Xuan Hoa—is not served by any passenger station in the existing project plans.

The Ministry of Construction has agreed in principle to
study the addition of a passenger station in Xuan Hoa Commune, southern Dong Nai
Province, to the North-South High-Speed Railway project, as proposed by the province’s People’s Committee.

Under this decision, the ministry has tasked the Thang Long
Project Management Board and relevant units to coordinate closely with
provincial authorities during the feasibility study phase. Together, they will
conduct surveys and propose route directions, station locations, and design
solutions that ensure both technical and economic efficiency.

According to current planning, the 82-km section of the
North-South High-Speed Railway passing through Dong Nai features only one
passenger station, located at Long Thanh International Airport.

To further stimulate economic growth, the Provincial
People’s Committee proposed adding the Xuan Hoa passenger station to the
project’s documentation. The proposed site is approximately 48 km from Long
Thanh Station and 66 km from Muong Man Station (located at Km1393). This
positioning meets the regulatory requirement of maintaining a roughly 50-km
distance between stations.

The Provincial People’s Committee noted that Dong Nai holds
massive potential for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). Currently, the
eastern region of the province—specifically the communes of Xuan Loc, Xuan Phu,
and Xuan Hoa—is not served by any passenger station in the existing project
plans.

However, this area holds a strategic position, linking Dong
Nai to the South Central coastal provinces via National Highway 1 and the Dau
Giay–Phan Thiet Expressway. The region is ripe for development in urban
housing, industrial zones, logistics services, and eco-tourism—highlighted by
landmarks such as the Chua Chan Mountain resort area and Nui Le Lake.
Additionally, the area is home to the 485-hectare Xuan Hoa Industrial Park.

Provincial authorities emphasized that the region’s vast
land fund, favorable terrain, and high potential for infrastructure
connectivity make it an ideal location for a large-scale passenger station to
maximize the efficiency of the TOD model.
