Han Market

Absolutely ENORMOUS this market. Great news, google has the stall numbers if you look online for what you want in advance. There's so much to choose from, and it's rammed with hundreds of shoppers. It's great to barter with the stall holders and fun as they are friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this experience.

It’s one of the known markets for local shopping. Old and quite crowded you would get stuff here for less but you have to bargain. We checked out tee shirts but ddnt much like. Bags, hats etc were average. They would charge higher from tourists and don’t give much room to bargain. We got some good crocs from here and bargained a boy. For about 500 INR. Got song charms for crocs too but these were expensive. You get dry fruits, dried fruits, souvenirs etc . We walked down from Dragon bridge.

The market is not very big, but I had the most positive experience. I wanted to buy an ao dai (traditional Vietnamese clothing), in the souvenir shops I found a color that I liked. But since I am 175 cm tall, all the ao dai were too short for me. We went to this market, I did not even think about ao dai, but then we went up to the second floor and a woman stopped me, offered ao dai, I said everything is great, but standard ao dai do not fit my height. And she offered to sew according to my measurements, took me to the seamstress, they took my measurements, we discussed what length of the dress and sleeves I want and in an hour and a half they sewed an ao dai for me! This is something incredible! By the way, in the souvenir shops the desired and unsuitable ao dai cost 450k dong, they sewed an ao dai for me for 470 thousand according to individual measurements. Yes, it is not so tight, but at home I will adjust it to my waist and will walk around happy. By the way, I paid by card, which is also a very big plus. I still can't believe that I managed to find Ao dai for my height. My boyfriend also bought figurines of One Piece characters on the first floor, do not buy in the department that is located at the very entrance, if you go deeper into the market you can find figurines with a lower price and higher quality In the photos is the name of the shop where I got my ao dai made. In the last two photos I am standing in my new outfit in Hoi An. I got a lot of compliments and questions about the ao dai that day 😂

This market is great. We came in from Hoi An and in all honesty other than the bespoke tailoring you can get clothes here cheaper than Hoi a with better service and even have some simple alterations made on some items. People are very friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit.

Nice place to shop from locals. The sellers here were so nice to us. They were welcoming and kind. Please, try bargaining price and talk nicely to them. The lady I bought some snacks with also paid for the toilet fee for me, very nice.

Right after my coffee at Cộng Cà Phê, I decided to check out Han Market — one of Da Nang’s most famous local markets. And wow, let me just say, this place is an absolute whirlwind. First off, this market has been around for decades (I read somewhere it dates back to the French colonial era!) and is now a massive indoor market with hundreds of stalls crammed across two floors. You’ll find everything here — from dried seafood, Vietnamese coffee, nuts, and handicrafts to knockoff branded clothes like Ralph Lauren, Adidas, Under Armour, LV, and more. But here’s the thing: it’s chaotic. Like really chaotic. The layout is messy, the walkways are tight, and it gets super packed with both locals and tourists. You really need to watch your belongings here — sling your bag to the front and keep your valuables close, because the crowd can get intense. Another heads-up — the vendors here can be quite aggressive. Some may tap your arm or even lightly grab you to bring you into their stall. Personally, I found that quite uncomfortable and borderline rude, but I get that they’re just trying to make a sale. Still, be firm and polite if you’re not interested. Important tip: Don’t buy anything at the first price they quote you. It’s always marked up, especially if they know you’re a tourist. I had to bargain down every single item, and most sellers seemed to expect it anyway. Just smile, haggle a bit, and don’t feel bad about walking away if it’s too pricey — chances are you’ll see the same thing a few stalls down. On the bright side, some of the replica goods look really close to the real thing, and the variety of local products makes it a cool place for souvenir shopping. I’d recommend grabbing some Vietnamese nuts or local coffee — prices vary so definitely compare before you commit. Final thoughts? It’s messy, it’s loud, it’s kind of overwhelming — but it’s also a fun slice of real Vietnam. Come here with patience, a good grip on your bag, and your bargaining game strong. You’ll probably leave with a full bag and an even fuller story to tell.

Very narrow passages, not enough space to cross people and regardless of this fact, there are still people trying to go through with strollers and people coming from both ways. Quite an experience, still cool to see. They sell a lot of clothes, shoes and bags. I did not see any trying rooms… trying shoes is done in the narrow passages I described…
