Cholon, Saigon's Chinatown
Cholon actually means Big Market - a claim that is well justified
as Vietnam's largest market, the Binh Tay is situated here. Also
this district (district 5) is home to the city's 400,000 Chinese
and as such the area has many beautiful temples and pagodas. A pleasant
way to see these is by hiring a local cyclo driver for a couple
of hours
