On the Grid : Dong Xuan Center

"A small arch of yellow letters marks the entrance of Don Xuan Center, but you won´t miss the wholesale market by following the only crowd of visitors in this area. Behind a dreary car park are the six halls of the vietnamese market. When you step into one of the halls you are also entering a different world – mountains of synthetic flowers, rows of colorful bags and clothing and towers of plastic toys are located in compartments left and right of the main hall. In the halls of so called „little Vietnam“ glittering nail studios are randomly followed by small restaurants, hairdressers and grocery stores. The best way to explore is to stroll between plastic chic and fascinating smells to find a curiosity to take away." - Schauschau
