Vendors prep their shop displays at the entrance to Ho Chi Minh City’s oldest marketplace, the Ben Thanh Market.

The Bến Thành Market (Chợ Bến Thành) is a marketplace in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. Built originally as the Les Halles Centrales in 1870 by the French, it was moved to the new location in 1912 and renamed to Ben Thanh. Its roots extend back to the early 17th century as an informal collection of street vendors, and today is the oldest surviving market in Ho Chi Minh City. It remains a popular destination for textiles, handicrafts, and local foods.

Motorbikes are the most popular means of getting around Vietnam, and account for 95% of all registered vehicles. Roads are often packed thick with other vehicles, and as a result the roads are amongst the most dangerous in the world, averaging 67 deaths per year per 100,000 vehicles (compared to 12 deaths per year per 100,000 vehicles in the United States).
