A view of a busy Chinatown market street in Ho Chi Minh City shows shoppers and shaded stalls in front of multi-story buildings with balconies and tile roofs. Tile roofed turrets adorn the buildings at the corner of the block. No cars are visible, only pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists.
Ho Chi Minh City’s Chinatown, known as Cholon, is located southwest of the old city center of Saigon.
