Cho Lon in District 5, Ho Chi Minh City, where many Chinese live, has long been known as one of the most bustling, crowded commercial areas in the city.
Besides the hustle and bustle which can be easily observed every day, Cho Lon also embraces a quiet, slow lifestyle that not many people have a chance to see.
According to a retired Chinese officer, Cho Lon includes around 50 alleys which might or might not have name signs.
The Chinese residents living in these alleys still follow their lifestyle habits, sitting in front of their houses to breathe fresh air every morning, reading newspapers or drinking and talking about their personal stories.
Cho Lon is a Chinese-influenced section of Ho Chi Minh City. It lies on the west bank of the Saigon River, with Binh Tay Market as its central market.
The place consists of the western half of District 5 as well as several adjoining neighborhoods in District 6.
