Crowded but unforgettable

Yes it's busy, but Chinatown / Cho Lon is busy for a reason. Stay 1, 2 hours, bring small cash, and try the local food nearby.

Better than expected

Honestly thought Chinatown / Cho Lon would be a tourist trap, but it really delivered. Highlight of our days in Ho Chi Minh City.
