About An Dong Market
An Dong Market — locally known as Cho An Dong — is a lively indoor market located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s Chinatown (Cholon). While the original market dates back to the 1960s, the current four-story building was renovated in the 1990s and has since become a shopper’s paradise, especially for textiles, fabrics, and fashion.
The market is a treasure trove of materials: silk, cotton, denim, lace, and countless other fabrics are sold by the meter. The upper floors are packed with ready-to-wear clothing, accessories, shoes, and custom tailoring services. It’s a favorite spot for locals and expats looking for affordable, high-quality fashion. The ground floor is dedicated to fresh produce, dried goods, and a fantastic food court serving authentic Chinese-Vietnamese dishes.
For travel professionals, An Dong Market offers clients a unique shopping experience with endless possibilities for custom tailoring. It’s the perfect destination for fashion lovers, bargain hunters, and anyone wanting to explore Saigon’s vibrant commercial culture.
“An Dong Market is a tailor’s dream. Our clients loved the fabric selection and had custom suits made within 24 hours. The food court was a bonus — some of the best Chinese-style noodles in Saigon.”
— Travel Designer, UK
