Han Market, Marketplace in central Da Nang, Vietnam
Han Market is a marketplace in the center of Da Nang, Vietnam, near the Han River, bordered by four main streets. The building has two floors lined with stalls selling food, clothing, household goods, and souvenirs.
Han Market began in the 1940s as a simple trading area that grew thanks to its position near water routes and roads. The building was torn down and rebuilt in 1990, reopening in 1991 in its current two-story form.
The ground floor of Han Market is where locals do their daily food shopping, with stalls selling fresh seafood, fruit, and dried regional specialties. The upper floor draws visitors looking for fabric, bags, and souvenirs to bring home.
The market sits in the heart of Da Nang and is easy to reach on foot from the surrounding streets. Going in the morning gives you access to the freshest food stalls and a quieter experience before the midday crowd arrives.
Han Market reopened on May 19, 1991, a date that matches the birthday of Ho Chi Minh, giving the reopening a symbolic meaning for many locals. Vendors here are known across Da Nang for trading without pressure or tricks, which sets this market apart from many others in the country.
