About Bình Tây Market

At Bình Tây, your visit shares the path with people at work: goods come and go in a market known for wholesale activity. Chinese-influenced architecture sets the complex apart in Chợ Lớn and changes the scenery compared with Bến Thành.

Look at the facade and move along the aisles without blocking the way. Not every product will be sold individually; ask first and accept that some deals run on a bigger scale than your backpack.
