The HCMC Department of Planning and Architecture has suggested building a public square in front of Ben Thanh Market once the metro construction site there is cleared.

 

It will have a park where the statues of Quach Thi Trang, a student who died in a protest against the Saigon regime during the Vietnam War, and Tran Nguyen Han, a military expert who helped Vietnam ward off Chinese invasions in the 15th century, will be reinstalled.

 

Traffic on several busy streets such as Le Loi and Tran Hung Dao would have to be rerouted to accommodate the square, the department said.
