    Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City as it is known today may be the veritable cliche -A shopper’s paradise. The key feature of shopping here in the capital of Vietnam would it be is tourist oriented, just about everything on offer is supposed for consumption by the hordes of visiting tourists. Having a minimum of an elementary expertise in bargaining would be beneficial here as there are lots of appealing items on show, through the usual touristy fare to elegant antiques and souvenirs.

    The businesses in Ho Chi Minh City or elsewhere in Vietnam are definately not being drab; they’re a riot of colour from extensive decorative work to the colorful household goods on show, the color is an enticing prospect for tourists. The streets of the city are lined with small outlets selling indigenously produced toys, souvenirs and clothing several of which are incredibly affordable. Shopping in Vietnam can be a mixture of small vendors peddling locally made handicrafts to large western style malls selling much more luxury fare.

    The key open air markets in Ho Chi Minh are Ben Thanh Market, the night time Market and also the War surplus market. The greatest with the lot is the Ben Thanh Market, which can be instantly identified by the massive clock tower near the traffic circle. It is just a large old school open air market with a huge selection of narrow alleyways who have store fronts. Due to regular patronage by tourists the market industry now has morphed in to a tourist attraction, many stalls now sell Vietnam t-shits and counterfeit branded jeans, caps and souvenirs.

    The evening Information mill located almost near the Ben Thanh Information mill usually open after 5.00 pm. Forex trading also features a few food stalls where tourists may go through some local cuisine and check a neighborhood drink. However, essentially the most interesting market of all is the War Surplus Market; forex trading is sometimes termed as the American Market or "Cho Cu". Many military items leftover through the bloody American campaign from the Viet Cong rebels, that ended with large losses of life on sides is visible here. American war gear including old military uniforms, GI helmets, US Marine t-shirts and old army knives can be obtained here. This can be a unique spot to visit for collectors and Vietnam War veterans, although the authenticity with the ware cannot be verified.
