For a slower, nostalgic side of the city: Cho Lon's lesser-visited assembly halls and Luong Nhu Hoc lantern street, tiny cafés inside the old apartment block overlooking Nguyen Hue, the disused Go Vap railway station loved by photographers, and the Ly Tu Trong apartment building with its vintage lift and boutique shops. Be respectful, as residents still live there.
