| Many alleys in Cho Lon, a Chinese area in Ho Chi Minh City, have a special architectural style which is a combination between alleys and apartments. The photo depicts a resident carrying her bicycle upstairs. |

| Each alley is a public space of residents living in the area. A boy is seen feeding a chicken in this photo. |
 |
| Most of the alleys in the area have existed for a very long time. |

| The ancient architecture of Hao Si Phuong alley on Tran Hung Dao Street, District 5, is kept almost intact. Some people said that the houses in this area were built by Hua Bon Hoa, a rich, well-known Chinese man, circa 1910. |

| Selling drinking water in front of the alley every morning is a habit of many Chinese elders. |

| Residents often sit together on the landing which links two housing blocks to eat and talk to each other when they have free time. |
