Han Market (Chợ Hàn) is a long-standing traditional market in central Da Nang, right beside the Han River. It’s the local kitchen and, at the same time, a popular spot where travelers can brush up against everyday Da Nang life.
A Bustling Market with a Bit of Everything
The ground floor is lined with produce, dry goods, dried fruit, nuts, coffee, and spices. The upper floors hold clothing, fabrics, sundries, and souvenirs. Goods piled to the brim and the lively calls of the vendors — the market’s very buzz is the highlight here.
Good for Souvenir Hunting Too
Classic souvenirs like Vietnamese coffee, cashews, and dried mango are easy to find at this market. Bargaining is often expected here, so the trick is to check the going rate at a few stalls first, then haggle with a smile.
A Note Before You Go
Centrally located and easy to reach, it’s a fine place to fold into a riverside stroll or a nearby cafe crawl. It’s crowded and full of movement, so keep an eye on your bags and valuables while you soak up the everyday air of Da Nang.
Rather than the shopping itself, think of it as a place to go and feel “the temperature of the city,” and you’ll enjoy the walk all the more.
