After more than two weeks of intense renovation, the iconic market - located in Ben Thanh Ward - has unveiled its completed upgrades. "Ben Thanh looks more striking than ever. Among the most eye-catching additions are small boats arranged across the square, creating a vibrant and picturesque setting.
