While the downtown of HCM City will remain quiet during Mid-Autumn
Festival, a street in the city''s Chinatown in District 5 will be hub of
activity tonight.
It is not common for Vietnamese to explore Cho Lon, HCM City''s
Chinatown, in District 5, but I decided to do so because many foreign
tourists put it at the bottom of their travel lists. Although I have
briefly visited the area, this...
The movie Bui Doi Cho Lon (Chinatown) by Vietnamese-American director
Charlie Nguyen has been banned from distribution and screening in Viet
Nam because the film is "too violent" and misrepresented HCM City''s
Chinatown.
