Hoi An – the charming ancient town in the Central region offers high quality handmade arts and crafts. Besides the popular Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City, many modern shopping malls and department stores will make your shopping experience a pleasure.  Don’t miss the chance to have your dream design tailor-made piece - whether it’s a dress, suit, or a leather bag.
