Maps of Ben Thanh Market
Ben Thanh Market is the market of the district of Bến Th�nh, is located centrally in District 1 of Ho Chi
Minh City, right next to the main Bus Station and within walking
distance of many important tourist sites. Together
with the neighboring Bến Ngh� area these form the very oldest
part of the city. As you can see from the historic map
below the city was one of the original planned cities of Asia,
and a detailed map was made which would have been both practical
and aesthetic.
Although all traces of the 1795 city layout, the
citadel, is not visible today it is possible by tracing
the shape of the river to see where today's market
building lies, just outside the original fortified
city.
The market building today is located near the
mark "O" or "La Nonnoye" on this historic map.
