District 4 is a triangular cay, surrounded by rivers and canals. It borders Saigon River and the city of Thủ Đức to the northeast, Bến Nghé River and District 1 to the northwest, and Tẻ Canal and District 7 to the south.

There are 15 wards in District 4.

On January 11, 1985, the district consisted of five wards, namely:

• Vĩnh Hội Ward (which is now divided into four wards numbered 1-4);
• Lý Nhơn Ward (which is now divided into three wards numbered 5, 6 and 8);
• Cây Bàng Ward (which is now divided into two wards, numbered 9 and 10);
• Xóm Chiếu Ward (which is now divided into three wards, numbered 12-14) and
• Khánh Hội Ward (which is now divided into three wards, numbered 15, 16 and 18).

As time went on, these wards split up into between two and four wards each, now giving a total of 15 wards, numbered 1-18. Wards 7, 11 and 17 do not exist.
