Dong Xuan Center
Herzbergstraße 128–139, 10365 Berlin (Lichtenberg)

As Berlin’s largest Asian wholesale market and cultural hub, Dong Xuan Center transports you straight to “Little Saigon” in the heart of Lichtenberg. Spread across six brightly coloured halls on a 165,000 m² site, it’s a lively meeting point for Berlin’s Vietnamese community and a must-visit for curious travellers.

What to See & Do

• Six Market Halls: Wander through halls overflowing with fresh produce, spices, dried goods and tropical fruits. Vendors hail from Vietnam, China, India and Pakistan, offering authentic ingredients for bánh mì, pho or home cooking.

• Textiles & Crafts: Discover colourful silks, handcrafted lanterns, bamboo homewares and ornate ceramics—perfect for ornaments or unique souvenirs.

• Services & Cafés: Beyond food stalls, you’ll find traditional tea houses, small restaurants serving hot noodle soups, as well as Vietnamese travel agencies, driving schools and language services, making the centre a one-stop community hub.

Atmosphere

From the moment you pass the neon “Đồng Xuân” entrance, the air fills with the scent of burning incense and wok-fried noodles. Bright banners hang overhead, while shouts of vendors and clinking crockery create a bustling, market-hall energy.
