23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Vinh Khanh Street in Ho Chi Minh City
Named one of the world's "coolest streets" by Time Out magazine in 2025, Vinh Khanh Street in Ho Chi Minh City is a legendary destination for seafood lovers. Famous for its dozens of open-air grills and a popular meeting spot for local youth and office workers in Khanh Hoi ward (formerly District 4), the atmosphere truly ignites at dusk. As the sun sets, the street becomes a torrent of light, noise, and flavor, with a constant flow of motorbikes rushing past mobile vendors, like this dedicated seller offering the classic Vietnamese snack, grilled dried squid.
