Hoc Mon Market

Set in the land of the 18 Betel Garden Hamlets, cradle of the 1940 Southern Uprising

Located in Hoc Mon Commune, Ho Chi Minh City, near the historical site of the 18 Betel Garden Hamlets. The land of the 18 Betel Garden Hamlets was once the birthplace of the Southern Uprising of 1940 against French colonial rule, and it is also famous for its long-standing tradition of growing betel and areca; the dense betel gardens once served as shelters where revolutionary cadres were hidden and protected. Today, Hoc Mon Market is the farm-produce hub of the city's outskirts, trading vegetables, fruit and poultry from the neighbouring areas, and carrying the air of a country market that contrasts with the modernity of the city centre.
