I found the ceiling of refrigerator magnets here.

French, Chinese and Vietnamese local cultures are intertwined here, giving Saigon its own unique romance. Just like the book street, one side is the solemn red church, and the other side is the bustling Book Street. Two completely different pictures, but I can see them in one scene. This should be the charm of Vietnam. ✅About Book Street: ⭕️During the French colonial period, this road was called Hong Kong Street. In 1897, it was renamed Cadiz, and in 1955, it was renamed Nguyen Khau Street. Until 2000, it was renamed Nguyen Van Binh Book Street, named after Nguyen Van Binh, a famous intellectual in Vietnamese history; ⭕️Book Street is opposite the Red Church, and the whole street is not very long. There are bookstores on both sides, mostly Vietnamese books, with a few English and French books; ⭕️In addition to bookstores, there are also several beverage shops. In the middle of the street, there are some children's handicrafts, where you can draw Ao Dai and Vietnamese conical hats. There is also an uncle who is similar to the portrait painter in Shanghai Yuyuan Garden. The whole street is not very long, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk from front to back; ✅Recommended attractions: ⭕️Because most of the books are in Vietnamese, it is really hard to find Chinese and English books. But you can browse the comic books there. Currently, all mainstream comics are available on the market, and ordinary single volumes are cheap (in Vietnamese Dong): 【Spy x Family】25,000 【Chainsaw Man】Latest single volume 45,000 【Jujutsu Kaisen】First edition limited edition 65,000 【Yakuzza Husband】Special edition 50,000 ⭕️As a refrigerator magnet enthusiast, I have visited almost all the gift shops on the street, most of them are the same, and the price difference is huge. Famous handmade refrigerator magnets are exquisite but not cheap, about 100 yuan, with different stalls. It is located in the newsstand near the entrance of the Central Post Office. One refrigerator magnet costs 320,000 Vietnamese Dong;
