Binh Tay Market Binh Tay Market is the market within the Cholon district of Ho Chi Minh City. The name "cho lon" itself means "big market", and that description refers to Binh Tay Market, a huge, sprawling market in the city.

Binh Tay Market is housed in a big structure dating from 1826. It has four wings that are joined as a square, in the middle of which is a courtyard with fountain. There is a clock tower rising up at the center. The roof of the market is stacked like the pagoda.
Binh Tay Market caters mostly to the wholesale trade, and so might not be as touristy compared to Ben Thanh Market. Many of the stall keepers are Chinese, this being a predominantly Chinese part of Ho Chi Minh City. You can find stuff such as Chinese medicinal herbs, toys imported from China, sweets, and other items.
Location
Binh Tay Market is located at Thap Muoi Street in Cholon district, Ho Chi Minh City

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
