Dan Sinh is a smaller, grittier market best known for its stalls of genuine and reproduction military surplus, from canvas backpacks and dog tags to compasses and field jackets, a legacy of the market's role selling off American and Vietnamese army stock after the war. It also has a large hardware and tool section that draws local tradespeople.
