Chợ An Đông is a wholesale and retail market on An Dương Vương Street in District 5, Ho Chi Minh City. The market is a major center for fashion, textiles, and clothing. It primarily serves as a wholesale hub for retailers throughout Southern Vietnam. The indoor market building occupies a large city block in the historic Chợ Lớn area.
The market first opened in 1951 as a traditional trading space. A major reconstruction in 1991 transformed it into a multi-story commercial center. The building features a distinct concrete grid facade. It has long been a key commercial point for the local Chinese-Vietnamese community. The market contains over 2,700 individual stalls across several levels.
Each floor of Chợ An Đông specializes in different categories of goods. The basement level contains a food court. It also has vendors selling dried foods, packaged snacks, and jewelry. The ground floor focuses on textiles, with numerous stalls offering fabrics like silk and cotton. Upper floors feature ready-to-wear clothing for men, women, and children. Stalls sell everything from casual wear to traditional Vietnamese garments like the áo dài.
The market functions as a critical part of the city’s garment industry. Many local tailors and fashion designers source their materials here. Both wholesale and retail transactions occur daily. The market sits near other cultural sites within the city’s Chinatown, including the Thiên Hậu Pagoda.
