Market Fresh

The streets of Vietnam's largest city, Ho Chi Minh, are best discribed as mad, crazy, chaotic and vibrant. But they are nothing compared to the local markets that dot the many districts that make up this city of 10 million people. 

While the streets are busy, the markets are just as crazy. Along with the motor bikes, you have daily customers bargaining hard for their goods, vendors selling the wares (while taking up much of the roads!), live fish jumping in tanks and tacky 70's styled muli-colored pajamas's hanging from badly arranged hangers. All of which makes the local market place THE place to be for fun, excitement and great photography!

This market is located on the canal between District 4 and 7. It's a lively scene all day long and a favorite place to visit on the Saigon Unseen's half day Urban Kaos Motor Bike Adventures around the city.

So jump on board and enjoy the pic's. If your up for an amazing half day Saigon experience head to Saigon Unseen or see what past travelers have said on Trip Advisor!
