Vietnamese Ben meaning “wharf”, and Quy Thanh meaning “turtle citadel”) is a big marketplace in the downtown area of Ho Chi Minh City, in District 1. The market is one of the earliest surviving structures in Saigon and today is considered one of symbols of Ho Chi Minh City, popular with tourists seeking local handicrafts, textiles, ao dai, and souvenirs, as well as local cuisine.
This place has it all! I even found stalls which sell Baju Melayu and Baju Kurung, and the shop keeper spoke Bahasa Malaysia! You can buy everything from Ho Chi Minh T-shirts to cosmetics, diapers, pickled plums and live ducks. Be prepared to haggle
