Binh Tay Market
Binh Tay is another central market in Ho Chi Minh City. It is located at the place where years ago “The Old Market” existed. It was destroyed by fire and some time after, “The New Market” was built. It is not so famous among tourists as Benh Thanh market, so the prices here are much lower. But it doesn’t mean that the choice of goods is smaller as well! Here you will still find everything you may potentially want to buy! Pelican Cruise
