I usually rate such streets as average (3 stars), because they're present in every city in the world. It's a classic shopping street with mainly haute couture shops, luxury hotels,..etc However, here in HCMC I raised to 4 stars, due to unusual mixture of French colonial legacy mixed with Vietnam hustle and bustle, topped with some ultra modern steel and glass high rises around. Interesting to walk through down to Saigon river.

After checking it at my hotel, I walked this street to reach the Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral. Along the way are shops, restaurants, beautiful houses with French architecture, hotels, shops, etc. Took my time and leisurely admired the things around me. Saigon Notre Dame Cathdral: Attended mass here and then visited attractions located near it such as the Post Office, City Hall, Indenpendence Square, etc. Highly recommended to visit it!

Dong Khoi Street is famous for its colourful shopping zone in HCMC. Standing at its starting point, Lam Son Square is famous for its embroidered tablecoths and napkins. Prices offered in this area are well within one's budget and varieties. Exclusive custom-made silk garments are also being offered by the shops and the quality can be comparable to those in Singapore or Hong Kong. The fantastic concordance of colors and intricate workmanship of the dress materials are worth mentioning. Besides silk garments and embroidered tablecoths and napkins, shawls, purses and silk scarves are also worth getting. There is also a wide variety of handbags made of different materials. Thus, it is impossible to slow down the frenetic pace on this street.
