The highest concentration is on streets specializing in fashion, such as Nguyen Van Cu, Dang Thai Than, and Le Hong Phong...

Despite this, purchasing power hasn't improved much.

One shop owner said that drastic price reductions are no longer just a marketing strategy but a necessary solution to keep their capital flowing.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong, the owner of a shop on Nguyen Van Cu Street, said that monthly rent amounts to tens of millions of dong, accounting for a large portion of expenses, while revenue has dropped sharply, forcing her to find alternative solutions.
