Khu pho 26: Hai Thuong Lan Ong - Châu Văn Liêm
Tucked into Chợ Lớn, west of the Saigon River, the Châu Văn Liêm–Hải Thượng Lãn Ông junction is a place whose character is shaped by the dense trade and traffic of Ho Chi Minh City’s Chinese quarter. These streets lie in District 5, the core of Chợ Lớn, where Chinese-Vietnamese commerce has long shaped shopfronts and wholesale trade. Hải Thượng Lãn Ông is particularly associated with traditional medicine and honours the 18th-century physician Lê Hữu Trác. Châu Văn Liêm commemorates a Vietnamese revolutionary active in the anti-colonial movement. Motorbikes, buses and delivery vehicles circulate among low-rise commercial buildings, reflecting the tightly packed, street-based economy that distinguishes this part of the city.

Ho Chi Minh City stretches from the Saigon River through central District 1 to the mangrove-lined coast of Can Gio, encompassing intensely urban neighbourhoods and tidal wetlands. Formerly known as Saigon, it is Vietnam’s largest city and a fast-moving centre of commerce, street food, and contemporary culture. French colonial-era landmarks remain part of the city centre, including the Central Post Office and the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon. The Saigon River continues to shape the city’s waterfront districts, while Can Gio forms a markedly quieter southern edge.

Vietnam has served as a frontier between Chinese and Southeast Asian cultural spheres since the first millennium. This long, narrow country extends from the Red River delta in the north to the Mekong delta in the south, while the Annamite Range forms much of its western spine. Ha Long Bay’s limestone islands contrast with broad rice-growing lowlands. In central Vietnam, Huế was the seat of the Nguyễn dynasty, and Hội An retains the character of a historic trading port shaped by Asian and European commerce. Pho, regional noodle dishes and a lively coffee culture are part of daily life.
