I Love Cholon - China Town

I love Cholon for its vibrant & hyperactive atmosphere. Located in District 5 of Ho Chi Minh City, Cholon is dominant by Chinese population, & this is the heart of Ho chi Minh City which filled with commercial activities. Cantonese/Mandarin can be heard commonly spoken among the locals.
