Opening Hours: Daily 07:00 – 18:00 Address: 104 Yersin, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City Dan Sinh Market caters to a niche clientele, selling a wide array of military memorabilia from the Vietnam War. Also called the War Surplus Market, it is a short five-minute walk from Ben Thanh Market and Pham Ngu Lao, which is the city’s backpacking district. Military buffs can find almost anything here, from uniforms, jackets, and combat boots to binoculars, gas masks, helmets, zippo lighters and identification tags.

You’ll find anything here a city would need to function, shrunken down to size for children –everything from a fire and police station to a bank and newspaper. The twist to Kizciti is that, just like in real life, kids here have to earn Kizo, Kizciti’s currency, before they can play the city’s games or buy its ice cream. And, just like real life, to earn Kizo the children must work.Each child is given a small bracelet, which is used to track the amount of currency they hold, and then they can go around town, basically door to door, earning and spending their Kizo.
