Wow, it looks like we finally need another area inside of Vietnam at least everybody got a chance to go ahead to go to Saigon. A lot of people will get a chance to take some picture and even get a chance to hear it, but it looks like the whole entire car so much you could never get a chance to get out of there. Thank you for sharing the cool event AK !!

Cho Lon looks excellent Action Kid, almost as a neighborhood but it's a Chinatown in Saigon! With all people bringing deliveries whether it's food, drinks, or something with their motorbikes! Action Kid, thanks for sharing that Chinatown of Cho Lon located in Saigon!

In the begining of the video if you keep going along the canal you will see things very different from your last year video, they removed hundreds of houses and completed with the canal extension, the area behind Binh Tay market people refused to move because the compensations on district 6 are lower than district 5 even though it's the same project.
If you go to the neighbourhoods along the Tau Hu river (Tofu river) you will see lots more historical areas of Cholon because back in the days they used the river as the main transport for all goods, the riches concentrated here, unfortunately they destroyed hundreds of ornate decorative French-Chinese shophouses to build the 10 lanes highway.
If you understand Vietnamese you will see Vietnamese shop signs in Cholon are very kungfu movies, Vietnamese use those words but not in those combinations of words, and the Vietnamese spoken in Cholon is a world of their own, Vietnamese hear them speaking and can tell they're Chinese. Thanks for the afternoon walk of Cholon!
