If you need to find souvenirs from Saigon, then this is probably the best place. You can also take a quick gastro tour and try different Asian dishes.
And of course shopping. Although it's more like a big flea market ) but if you want, you can easily find something interesting.
Colorful ) Walk through the rows , look at the heavy suite . Of course , you don 't need to buy anything . Everything is overrated at times .
There are excellent currency exchangers around the market with a good exchange rate.
A place of attraction for tourists with all the consequences: prices for souvenirs are several times higher than on the same book street; beggars and pickpockets. You can try local drinks and food in the cafe there. All in all, an interesting place!
