Located in the central city of Da Nang, Han Market is a popular tourist destination that receives around 6,000 arrivals per day, including foreign visitors from diferent countries.
An oficial of the Han Market Management Board says since the beginning of the year there has been a large number of international travelers visiting the market, equivalent to the pre-pandemic level. All 700 kiosks have reopened and are serving the shopping demand of customers.
Han Market is situated right in the heart of the city centre, with four sides facing four busy streets, namely Tran Phu, Bach Dang, Nguyen Thai Hoc, and Hung Vuong. It is only two kilometres away from Han River Bridge.
After over three decades, Da Nang authorities have spent VND8.1 billion renovating the site, with the latest maintenance work taking place in September 2022.
According to many shop owners, souvenir bags, suitcases, and clothes are favourite items among foreign customers. With the recent complete makeover, they expect the number of tourists coming to the market to increase moving forward.
Han Market receives around 6,000 arrivals per day, and the number even rises to 8,000 on special occasions such as national holidays.
Although the market is crowded, there are no tourist harassment cases, as market staff members are on hand to deal with customer concerns, and more importantly items on display have price tags to ensure no price hikes.
Han Market is also an ideal place to shop for dried foods, namely dried shrimp, dried beef, and dried squid. Visitors can sample and check which brand offers the best food before paying money.
