Le Cong Kieu Street, HCMC

Le Cong Kieu Street is, in my opinion, Saigon's best kept secret (although Hilary Clinton visited it and bought some souvenirs back in 2000). A street only about 100-metres long, Le Cong Kieu Street of HCMC has more than 60 antique shops. And every shop has at least 1000 items to offer. A place of rare finds and hidden gems, for years antique collectors merely whispered the name Le Cong Kieu street for fear that the secret would get out. But be warned: only 30% of the goods on display are real antiques, the rest being imitations.
