Where is the largest Chinatown in the world? I want all its details,

CHOLON is the oldest area in Ho Chi Minh City, where Chinatown is also located. In the middle of the last century, this place was home to opium dens, brothels, and casinos. Many people who used to live in China for business would gather here to enjoy themselves. Times have changed, and yesterday’s place of fireworks has been lost in history, but Embankment is still the headquarters of the Chinese community. The best way to visit the embankment is to take an ancient means of transportation - a bicycle. The itinerary starts at the bustling Ben Thanh Market, where you can shuttle between various street vendors, where you can shop and enjoy the scenery along the way. Isn't it more interesting than visiting an ordinary large department store? The last thing I want to introduce are the various pagodas unique to the embankment. Some of them are under renovation and some are abandoned, but they all bear witness to the history of Chinese immigrants in Ho Chi Minh City. 2. The embankment is the “Chinatown” of Ho Chi Minh City. The embankment is located in District 11, southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, about 5 kilometers away from District 1 (historically Saigon). In 1932, Saigon and Tainan merged to form the Twin Cities, becoming one of the largest cosmopolitan cities in East Asia. There are about 500,000 Chinese in Ho Chi Minh City, almost all of whom live in the embankment area. They are one of the largest Chinese communities in the world. The embankment at the beginning of the last century was the most prosperous place in Saigon, and the Chinese played an important role in local industry and commerce, as described in Duras's novel "The Lover". Today's embankment, like almost all old cities in the world, is noisy, messy, and slightly dilapidated. The prosperity of the past seems like a dream.
