The Han Market Da Nang was a trading hub that existed since the 19th century when Vietnam was still under the rule of the French colonial regime. It spontaneously became a trading spot in the early 1940s when the French built La Gare Tourane-March\u00e9, a railway station to load and unload domestic goods and fresh fruits and vegetables that could be sold in the market.<\/p>\n

Official construction did not begin until May 19, 1990. The market consisted of 2 enormous floors, covering an area of 28,000 square metres. After the construction, the market opened nearly a year later, on March 29, 1991. Today, the market consists of more than 576 stalls and 36 kiosks.<\/p>\n

The market is a robust and crowded place. It is open from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. The market usually has two kinds of prices: the fixed prices mentioned at several shops, which are recommended to avoid being cheated, and the prices listed verbally when you go ahead to buy something. Usually, prices for tourists are inflated by about 40 per cent. Avoid bartering early in the morning or during closing time, as the locals believe that the fortune of the day is set by the good sales early in the morning and late in the evening.<\/p>\n

You should also be mindful of your personal belongings like handbags, mobile phones, and watches. It is recommended that you do not wear expensive items in the marketplace. Dress for comfort. While the market can be covered in about 2 to 3 hours, some people may also shop and make a whole day trip out of it. If you are planning to make a day trip, it is recommended that you visit nearby tourist attractions, like the Cham Museum, Linh Ung Pagoda, and Han River Bridge.<\/p>\n
