A night market beloved by the young crowd of Tan Binh

Located on Pham Van Hai Street, Tan Son Hoa Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. According to local travel websites, by day this is a traditional neighbourhood market, but from around 6pm it turns into a lively night market of street food and cheap fashion that draws a young crowd. The Tan Binh area in general has a long-standing tradition of trading songbirds, mentioned in the press through articles about the "bird market of Saigon"; however, the best-known bird-selling spots specifically documented by VnExpress are at the Truong Chinh bird market, also in Tan Binh, and not the Pham Van Hai market area. The "bird market" detail associated with Pham Van Hai therefore has no specific independent source to confirm it.
