Cholon

Large community, good for walking. But I'm afraid not too good for children because the sidewalk is not very good or often blocked because people often park their mopeds there so they can only walk on the road. It's a very busy and old community. Old buildings. Real city conditions. Lots of great photo opportunities. Hustle market and couple shop. Pathways to a modern mall called Garden Shopping Center. There are also temples located here.

The embankment is also a very fun place. It is also a very good place in Ho Chi Minh. It looks very good to choose. You can also see the buildings in Hanoi that are very good.

Ho Chi Minh City's Chinatown is probably the dirtiest and noisy Chinatown I have ever seen. The dike area is so popular with tourists, largely because Duras's novel, Leung's film "Lovers", took place at this location. But Chinatown is no longer the bustling market and romantic atmosphere of the past.

Personally, I think it's good to hire a boat for an hour upstream of the Saigon River. Three people are 30,000 Vietnamese guilders. It has the feeling of Pudong and Puxi in Shanghai. On the one hand, it's prosperous, on the other hand, it's declining, and on the other hand, it's governed.

The Chinatown here is too shabby. Vietnamese Chinese were deprived of their property after 1975. They met an aunt who bought a cake at a temple. The cake she made was delicious. The aunt was an old aunt from Nanhai, Foshan. She was a second generation Chinese aunt who spoke Cantonese and Putonghua. She said she worked in Taiwan for four years when she was young. She said that Foshan, China's mainland, had heard that it had developed very well and was very beautiful. She wanted to go back to Nanhai, Foshan, Guangdong Province, where she was originally from. But she works part-time and needs more than 1000 dollars to go back. She has no money to go back. I was sad to hear that. Cholon is located a few kilometers southwest of Fanwulao Street. Similar to Chinatown, there are many old houses.

The embankment is a Chinese community in Ho Chi Minh City. There are many Chinese who come to Vietnam. You can see a few Chinese characters popping out from time to time on the streets here, and Cantonese is often heard here. Many historic houses have been preserved and many have been renovated. Walking here seems to be entering the Chinese township.

There were too many motorcycles than in central Ho Chi Minh City, which made walking stressful. Prices were generally good value. An energy-filled area like Chinatown.

For me in Guangdong, walking into the embankment is like returning home, because there is no barrier to Cantonese. Before I went to the embankment, my first impressions of this place were from Mei Anfang's "Hero Natural 3", Liang Jiahui's "Lover", Xu Anhua's "Going to the Nuhai", Hu Yue's story, etc. When I came to the embankment, I found that it was a Chinese community. There are still many stories waiting to be discovered, but I am not allowed to enter. This largest Chinese-populated area in Vietnam still retains the traditional Chinese lifestyle to this day. These traditional lifestyles are long gone in China, and the street view of the embankment looks like a small city in Guangdong in the 1980s. There is a Catholic church in the architectural style of the Chinese and Western styles, and there is said to be a basement, where Wu Tingting, the president of the South Vietnamese regime during the Vietnam War, committed suicide after his subordinates were overthrown.
