After eight years, the downtown area of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) has a new look thanks to the removal of the construction site for an underground metro station in front of Ben Thanh Market.

 

Nguyen, 55, the owner of a souvenir shop on Le Loi Street, fixed up his store after the barriers for the construction of the Ben Thanh Station of the metro line No.1 were taken down a few months ago.

 

During this year's Lunar New Year holiday, he put imported goods in front of the store's door and decorated it with signs to attract customers.
