Long Biên Market

As local as it gets! From reviews, it says that the market comes alive between 11pm - 6am. I think we were the only tourists at 3am that day. Insane experience. TBH, I don't think you need a local guide, we survived with the Google Translate & calculator app on our phone and the sellers were generally friendly and helpful, of course there were some rude ones but that won't spoil the experience. Most were selling wholesale but if you ask nicely, they would give in to sell 1-2kg at retail prices. I noticed the ones near the main gate entrance are likely to sell retail than the ones at the back. Basically all types of seasonal fruit from Vietnam, they do have imported fruits though. Do go here for the Lychees, Dragon fruit, Mangos, Durians, Avocados and more!

Nice to check out a super authentic wholesale looking wet market. Also bonus check out the long bien bridge nearby, designed by the same man as the Eiffel Tower

This is a market that starts at dawn. There are all kinds of goods, from fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, meat. Fruits are the main trade. If you are thinking of visiting this place, visit between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning. By 6 o'clock in the morning, many shops will already be closed. It is a market worth visiting to feel the dynamism of Hanoi. After visiting, go across the street to eat pho. Overall, super great!

The quality and price can’t be beat. But you should come with a local because no one can understand English. I braved the rain and muddy pavements for 3 kilos of nectarines and 2 huge mangoes. Add to that - rude merchants, I will probably not return haha.

Highly recommend going here. Insane experience where you get in touch with how the wholesale market works in Hanoi. Do it as part of a tour with a local though.

environment isn’t very pleasant but there is cheapest durian you can find probably in the whole Vietnam! Love it

This place is an absolute paradise for those looking to purchase fruits at wholesale prices. With an abundance of options, you're sure to find exactly what you need. Not only that, but the area around here is simply stunning, making it a great spot for photography. Plus, the bargains here are unbeatable, so you can rest assured that you're getting a great deal. So, take your time and explore this vast location - you won't be disappointed!

There is really not much to see here, and if you skip it, you have not lost much. Most of the shops sell fresh fruits and vegetables.
