This is a large-scale cultural project with a total investment of more than VND 2,240 billion, built right on the campus of the existing cultural house at 4 Pham Ngoc Thach.

Each year, the Youth Culture House welcomes about 5 million young people to live and study. However, after 50 years of operation, the facilities are increasingly overloaded, unable to meet the increasing demand.
