Ho Chi Minh: Ben Thanh Market Bến Thành Market (Vietnamese: Chợ Bến Thành) is a large marketplace in central Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam in District 1. The market is one of the earliest surviving structures in Saigon and an important symbol of Hồ Chí Minh City, popular with tourists seeking local handicrafts, textiles, áo dài and souvenirs, as well as local cuisine.

Ho Chi Minh: Restaurant Sharaan
After take lunch we walking arround the street surround Ben Thanh Market have a street shopping.
After that attracted by this halal restaurant : ). I still remember this restaurant also have a branch at my own country, Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. ...but i never have a chance
This restaurant have 2 level, of cause i like to seat on the high level, and i like to go out to the corridor to view for the life of the vietnam people : )
*actually not really well prepare...so not many photo of the restaurant ... next time will do better.
After visit to Beh Thanh Market i continue my journey to Saigon Square Shopping Mall, actually before i coming to Vietnam here, i already prepare a print out location map for the place i want to visit as my guide. on the way keep asking the local vietnam people to show me the way to go. Interesting experience : )
Anyone looking for bargains while in Saigon should head to Saigon Square on the corner of Nam Kỳ Khởi and Le Loi in District 1. This shopping arcade is packed with stalls on two levels selling fashion, accessories and jewellery – be aware of forgeries though, and remember the old adage that if it seems too good to be true it probably is. Even though it’s always bustling with shoppers, Saigon Square is air conditioned and under cover so it is far more pleasant than shopping in the nearby Ben Thanh Market and it’s generally accepted that prices are far better here.
Ho Chi Minh: Lily's Hostel
After read more of the good review for other country people around the world, i finally decide this hostel as my virgin stay in here....Lily's Hostel.
