Cholon (Saigon Chinatown)

Cholon, also known as Saigon Chinatown, is Ho Chi Minh City’s Chinese quarter and the largest in Vietnam. Nestled within its narrow streets, visitors can explore a variety of Chinese Buddhist temples, other religious buildings, and bustling markets. The area’s distinct architectural styles and vibrant atmosphere offer a stark contrast to the rest of the city. Today, Cholon provides a unique glimpse into a different side of Ho Chi Minh City, where the rich cultural heritage of the Chinese community is on full display.
