ECHOING TRIP SG06 | TRĂM NĂM BIA MIỆNG 01.08
A 3.5-kilometer walking tour visiting temples, shrines, a Cao Đài Holy See, pagodas, markets, and a church across An Đông and Chợ Quán Wards.
"Those people of long ago / Where do their souls dwell now?" (Vũ Đình Liên).
A Century of Oral Histories is a field trip that "excavates" and peels back the layers of historical and cultural memory along Trần Hưng Đạo Street, from the former Xóm Dầu area to Chợ Quán. From some of the oldest settlements in southern Vietnam to Dương Minh Canton in the Twentieth Inspectorate District, once serving as a buffer between Saigon and Chợ Lớn before gradually becoming part of central Saigon, this area is filled with stories of place names, landscapes, people, customs, spirituality, and dramatic local legends.

Location: An Đông Ward, Chợ Quán Ward.
