Historical Context
During the 1960s and 1970s, Saigon's street markets were vibrant centers of daily life, where vendors sold fresh fruits, vegetables, and goods to local residents and military personnel. These colorful market stalls lined the streets and alleyways, creating a distinctive urban landscape that contrasted sharply with the ongoing conflict. The markets represented the resilience of civilian life continuing amid wartime, with vendors displaying tropical fruits like mangoes, papayas, and bananas alongside traditional Vietnamese vegetables. These scenes became iconic images of the Vietnam War era, captured in countless photographs and films.
