A historic market in the heart of Cho Lon, with glazed tile roofs and carved Chinese-style wooden columns
Hoa Binh Market is at 37 Bach Van, An Dong Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. According to travel sources (Thanh Nien newspaper, Eva.vn, Ghien Sai Gon), this is one of the traditional markets of the Chinese community in Cho Lon, still keeping part of its tiered jade-green glazed tile roof and its carved Chinese-style wooden columns, even though part of the roof has been replaced with corrugated iron over the years. The market is both a place for everyday goods and a well-known spot for typical Chinese dishes such as oolong tea, ha cao dumplings, sui cao dumplings and duck noodle soup stewed with medicinal herbs.
