Binh Tay Market

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

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
