An Dong Market
- A Shopper's Dream Come True
Whenever I want to buy casual clothes I always go to An Dong Market. Located near the corner of Tran Phu and An Duong Vuong in the Cholon area, An Dong Market is a huge four story building.
On the ground floor there is a food court and bulk food stalls.
The big containers of shrimp for sale near the entrance provide an almost overpowering smell that fills the nose as you enter.
And if that wasn't enough, the orange color of the shrimp shines bright orange in the overhead spotlights, making the initial entrance to An Dong Market a somewhat shocking experience for the senses at times.
Walking past the big containers of shrimp and up to the second floor though, the second floor is a shoe shoppers dream come true!
Walking through the tight aisles between the stalls, every inch of space is crammed with one type of shoe or another.
High-heeled shoes, running shoes, sandals, business shoes, kid's shoes, any type of shoe you could ever want to buy can be found here.
For someone like me who has never given much attention to shoes, the variety of shoes on offer is bewildering.
However if it is clothes that you are after, then the third and fourth floor are the floors for you.
The third and fourth floors are filled with tightly packed stalls; each stall crammed with stacks of trousers or folded shirts in their plastic wrapping.
Stacked in tall piles, it is quite interesting watching the little shop girls climb nimbly all over these huge piles of clothes to get to the shirts or trousers further back.
Again, any piece of clothing you might ever need can be found here. Women's underwear, men's underwear, t-shirts, business shirts, shorts, trousers, designer jeans, skirts, you name it and you can find it at An Dong Market.
There is so much variety on offer at An Dong Market, that if you dislike shopping like I do, you can get all your shopping needs done in one painless visit.
Alternatively if you do like shopping, then you will love An Dong Market even more, and find yourself lost in the huge market for hours looking for bargains, or the perfect shoes to go with the shirt or blouse you saw on the other floor.
