Life Photo Gallery
Finely printed enlargements of Do Anh Tuan's documentary photography cover the walls of this small shop. Do has been capturing reflective and provocative images, mostly in B&W, since 1971. A 5x7-inch print (US$12) makes a nice gift or keepsake.

L'image
This brightly lit shop gleams and glitters with the baubles displayed on its shelves. The jewellery is a celebration of beads and metalwork, much of it rather folksy and colourful. If nothing strikes your fancy, peruse the collection of impressive bronze teapots, copper buddhas, lacquered picture frames and other potential gift items.

Lotus
For vintage propaganda posters (from the 60s and 70s), this place is a goldmine. Expect to pay plenty for an original but there also prints available. Why the store is named Lotus - a symbol of purity - nobody seems to know.
