堤岸

大型社區，適合步行。但是恐怕不太適合小孩子，因為人行道不太好，或者經常堵塞，因為人們常把他們的輕便摩托車停在那裡，所以只能走在馬路上。是一個非常繁忙而老舊的社區。古舊的建築。真實的城市狀況。很多很棒的照片拍攝機會。熙熙攘攘的市場以及夫妻小店。途徑一個叫做花園購物中心的現代化商場。也有寺廟坐落於此。

堤岸也是蠻好玩的一處地方，這裏也是胡志明很不錯的一個去處，都是看起來很好的選的，來這裏也是可以看到很所得不錯的河內的建築。

胡志明市的唐人街大概是我見過最髒亂、嘈雜的唐人街了。堤岸區之所以被遊客們如此關注，大抵是因為杜拉斯的小說、梁家輝的電影《情人》發生在這個地點。但是，如今的唐人街早已沒有了往日的繁華街市和浪漫情調。

Personally, I think it's good to hire a boat for an hour upstream of the Saigon River. Three people are 30,000 Vietnamese guilders. It has the feeling of Pudong and Puxi in Shanghai. On the one hand, it's prosperous, on the other hand, it's declining, and on the other hand, it's governed.

The Chinatown here is too shabby. Vietnamese Chinese were deprived of their property after 1975. They met an aunt who bought a cake at a temple. The cake she made was delicious. The aunt was an old aunt from Nanhai, Foshan. She was a second generation Chinese aunt who spoke Cantonese and Putonghua. She said she worked in Taiwan for four years when she was young. She said that Foshan, China's mainland, had heard that it had developed very well and was very beautiful. She wanted to go back to Nanhai, Foshan, Guangdong Province, where she was originally from. But she works part-time and needs more than 1000 dollars to go back. She has no money to go back. I was sad to hear that. Cholon is located a few kilometers southwest of Fanwulao Street. Similar to Chinatown, there are many old houses.

堤岸是胡志明市的一個華人社區，這裏聚集了很多來到越南的華人，行走在這裏的街道上到處可以看到不時蹦出來幾個漢字，粵語在這裏也是經常可以聽到的。這裏保留了不少歷史建造的房屋，不少也已經重新整修了。行走在這裏似乎是走進了中國的鄉鎮。

胡志明市中心的摩托車太多了,走路壓力很大。總體而言,價格是有利可圖的。像唐人街一樣充滿能量的地區。

對於家在廣東的我來說，一走進堤岸就像回到家一樣，因為在這裏粵語通行無阻。到堤岸之前，我對這個地方的第一印象都是來自梅艷芳主演的《英雄本色3》、梁家輝主演的《情人》、許鞍華導演的《投奔怒海》、《胡越的故事》等這些電影。來到了堤岸，我發現這裏完全就是一個華人社區。這裏還有很多故事等着發掘，但自己卻是不得其門而入。這個越南最大的華人聚居區，到今天依然保留着華人的傳統生活方式。而這些傳統生活方式，在國內卻是早已式微。而堤岸這個地方的街景，看上去像是1980年代的廣東小城市。這裡有一座建築風格中西合璧的天主教堂，據說這裡有個地下室，是越戰時期南越政權總統吳廷琰在被下屬推翻后自殺的地方。
