The market is a very popular landmark in HCMC. It seems like a train station outside, but located inside are rows and rows of stalls selling clothes, fruits, handicrafts, souvenirs, sandals, and other implements popular to both locals and foreigners.
Store owners will sometimes do everything just to get your attention. However, one of the hassles in going to this market is the fact that most stores do not allow haggling. They will just claim that their goods are already on bargain.
