Originally built by the French in the 1880's, Binh Tay Market is located in the center of Vietnam’s largest Chinatown district in Ho Chi Minh city. Much of the market’s business is wholesale, serving the local population with an extensive selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, poultry, meat and seafood.

The market occupies a two storey building along Thap Muoi Street, and also features handicrafts, lacquer ware and textiles. Binh Tay Market is an excellent place for visitors to experience the local lifestyle and sample some of the region's Vietnamese-Chinese specialties.
