Kim Bien Market

Nicknamed the "market of death" as the largest industrial chemical depot in southern Vietnam

Located in the Van Tuong - Phung Hung - Kim Bien street area, Cho Lon Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. According to Vietnam Television (VTV, May 2025), this is the largest "chemical depot" in the southern region. With more than 70 businesses trading industrial chemicals, it sells toxic substances such as cyanide, sulfuric acid and bromine, along with many solvents, cleaning agents, food additives and ingredients used to blend counterfeit perfume. Most of them require no documents proving the intended use, and the goods come with no labels, no listed ingredients and no danger warnings. That is why Saigonese call this place the "market of death".
