In the days leading up to Lunar New Year, Chợ Lớn moves at a constant rush, early morning until late night. Chợ Lớn - home to a large community of Vietnamese people of Chinese descent, with many temples, assembly halls, markets, and wholesale trade that serve not only Saigon but much of Mekong Delta.
Join dakao quartier for a walk through Chợ Lớn during this time - to take in the energy of lion dancing, street vendors’ callings, passing horns, and to notice the vivid colors of handwritten calligraphy couplets, all in the warmth of early spring atmosphere.
