Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Step inside and your nose will be met by a dizzying mix of grilled seafood, fresh herbs, and sweet dried fruits, while vendors sling bargains with practiced smiles. Locals and visitors weave through more than 1,500 stalls, turning haggling for silk, handicrafts, and street-food plates into a lively sport that can score you a meal for just a few dollars.
Destaques: At dusk lanterns and neon turn the aisles into a kaleidoscope, the air thick with the caramel sizzle of grilled prawns, the sharp citrus of freshly pressed sugarcane and the nutty smoke of toasted sesame from tiny woks. Longtime stallholders often open with a price two or three times what they'll accept, then trade rapid hand signals and a sly grin to settle for about 30 to 50 percent less, so knowing a few Vietnamese numbers pays off fast.
