Market in Ho Chi Minh City

When in Ho Chi Minh City, suppose market – think Ben Thanh!

 

In District 1, not far from the main tourist area, Ben Thanh is the largest market in Saigon and certainly one of its main attractions. It sells virtually all the pieces – food, clothes, jewelry, stay snakes, car spares, drugs, and far, a lot more. Its popularity means prices are greater than elsewhere, however the expertise is worth it.

 

Its slim aisles are a shopper’s paradise, providing you are not claustrophobic or not keen on haggling. Ask the price (the vendor will probably use a calculator to indicate you) and supply around half the amount.

 

Don’t be concerned a few low bid – stall holders love negotiating and would be up set in case you hand over too early.

 

Some of the goods on sale are imported and some are smuggled.

 

Many are fakes, so apply widespread sense – finding a genuine article on the luxury goods stalls can be like selecting up a gold bar on the pavement.

 

If the noise and crowds get to be a bit a lot, there is a ‘food courtroom’ in the centre. Dozens of small stalls supply a bewildering range of food at subsequent-to-nothing prices. Don’t hope for burgers or doughnuts, although – it is basic Vietnamese cuisine solely!

 

Colon, once the unique Saigon, is Ho Chi Minh City’s ‘Chinatown’. Though the majority of Chinese language traders left Vietnam at the finish of the war, it is still a major commercial area with a number of markets.

 

The largest is the huge An Dong market and its newer companion, the An Dong II.

Like Ben Thanh, the range is enormous – fruit, vegetables, cigarettes, beer, and silk and so on.

 

In the same area however more attention-grabbing is Binh Tay market. The building is a delightful mustard-color oriental extravaganza.

 

It rekindles the ambiance of old Saigon and sells vast range of traditional household items in addition to effectively as the standard goods.

 

Again in the city centre, Dan Sinh Market (also called the Struggle Surplus Market) is the place to shop for struggle memorabilia.

 

Nonetheless, don’t anticipate the true factor – practically all the true stuff is lengthy gone. Electronics items, home equipment and similar goods are on sale.

 

Huynh Thuc Khong Street, between Ben Thanh market and Dong Khoi, is extra of an odds and finish market promoting items like posters of Ho Chi Minh, mosquito repellent, Chinese language-made ‘Swiss’ military knives, and so on.
