Han Market Da Nang: Hours, What to Buy, How to Haggle

Han Market (Cho Han) sits at 119 Tran Phu and opens 06:00–19:00 daily. Allow about one hour, the Da Nang tourism portal's estimate. Crowds and heat are part of the visit, so skip it if they bother you. Otherwise, learn the usual prices first and come ready to haggle.

Come to Han Market (Cho Han) ready to bargain: haggling is expected here, and the market is crowded and hot. If crowds and heat bother you, skip it. Otherwise, budget around one hour, the Da Nang tourism portal’s estimate for a visit.

The doors open 06:00–19:00 daily. Before you start haggling, walk past a few stalls and compare.

Han Market opening hours and address

Han Market keeps the same hours every day of the week, 06:00–19:00, so any day works for a visit. You will find it at 119 Tran Phu, Hai Chau, Da Nang.

What to see and buy at Han Market

Head for the ground floor for food: fresh juice, smoothies, desserts, snacks, nuts and dried goods are all there. Clothes, shoes and bags sit upstairs. Rebuilt in 1990 with two floors, the market groups its kiosks by category.

Among the local specialties are fish sauce, dried foods, Ly Son garlic, chili paste, dried rice crackers and dried squid, and fruit stalls line the front of the market. Beyond food, you will also find fabrics, souvenirs, shoes and bags.

As of October 2026, stall 170 on the ground floor let visitors sample its items and weighed them in front of buyers. Stall 171 handed out free samples as of October 2026.

Tailors and ao dai upstairs

Ao dai shoppers should head to stall 114 on the upper floor, and note that as of October 2026 it did not take haggling. Other tailors upstairs sell linen or silk fabric and make clothes to order. In the market operator’s words, Han Market is famous for made-to-order ao dai.

Prices and haggling

Learn the usual prices before you walk in, because as of October 2026 some sellers quote 2-3x what things are worth. Haggling is simply part of buying here. Expect some sellers to call out to passers-by and push sales.

Here is how far one price moved: a quote of VND 800,000 for chocolates and condiments came down to VND 300,000 after haggling. In October 2026, one visitor paid VND 40,000 per kg at one stall.

Many stalls sell the same goods, so check prices at a few before you buy, because even after haggling prices are still not very cheap. Upstairs, the clothing, shoes and bags are often fakes or copies, and the quality is low.

Who Han Market suits and who should skip it

Souvenir and snack shoppers do well here, since nuts, dried foods and local food fill the ground floor. Made-to-measure buyers will find tailors upstairs who make ao dai and custom clothes. Confident hagglers feel at home too, as haggling is expected.

Give it a miss if you dislike crowds, heat or smell: the aisles are packed and hot inside, and the market can smell bad. Shoppers after quality clothes, shoes or bags should look elsewhere, as upstairs these are often fakes or copies.

How to get to Han Market

Set your map to 119 Tran Phu, Hai Chau, Da Nang. Open in Google Maps (opens in a new tab).

The market sits in the city centre near the Han River Bridge, the city’s swing bridge. Its four sides face Tran Phu, Bach Dang, Hung Vuong and Nguyen Thai Hoc streets.

By bus

Your stop depends on your direction of travel. Heading towards the Central Bus Station, DanaBus (the city bus service) routes 02 and 21 each list a stop opposite 122 Bach Dang, only on that trip. Route 02 names it “opposite Han Market”.

Coming the other way, from the Central Bus Station to Cua Dai, get off route 02 at Rooster Church (Da Nang Cathedral). That stop is opposite 151 Tran Phu, on the market’s street.

Route 02 charges per passenger by distance:

Short rides sit in the cheapest row, and students pay the flat fare. For fares and other routes, see the Da Nang public bus guide.

By car or motorbike

The city’s January 2024 traffic plan for the market set a no-stopping, no-parking sign on Tran Phu in front of the market, with stops of up to 5 minutes allowed.

On Nguyen Thai Hoc, between Bach Dang and Tran Phu, the plan sets a lane on the market side where coaches may stop for the same 5 minutes. The plan also puts motorbike parking on the roadway of that stretch.

On foot, use the pedestrian crossing the plan puts on Bach Dang, right in front of the Han Market gate.

When to go and how long

Arrive early, as the market is hot even at 10 AM. It opens at 06:00 and closes at 19:00 daily.

Coming by bus, watch the clock, since both routes stop running before the market closes. Route 02 runs daily from 05:15 to 17:50, and route 21 from 04:45 to 17:30.

Allow about one hour inside, the Da Nang tourism portal’s estimate.

Nearby and how to combine it

For a short walk, head to the Han River Bridge on Le Duan Street. Getting there from Han Market is very easy and takes about 10 minutes.

Da Nang Cathedral (Rooster Church) stands at 156 Tran Phu. Built in 1923 in the Gothic style, it rises nearly 70 m.

Con Market, at 290 Hung Vuong, is open 07:00 - 19:30 daily. Inside there is an indoor food area and a dry-goods area, plus an outdoor space.

To reach the Dragon Bridge from a city-centre hotel, head to Tran Phu Street and follow it to the end; the bridge is on the left, on a one-way road. Show times are in the Dragon Bridge fire show guide.

A short route links the four stops in this order:

1. Start at Han Market, 119 Tran Phu, which opens at 06:00.
2. Walk about 10 minutes to the Han River Bridge.
3. Continue to Da Nang Cathedral at 156 Tran Phu.
4. End at the Dragon Bridge, following the directions above.

Before you go

Arrive close to opening, with hours of 06:00–19:00 daily, since it is hot even in the morning. Either way, expect crowds and heat inside.

Learn usual prices first, as some sellers quote 2-3x what things are worth. Then price the same item at a few stalls, because many sell the same goods. Expect to haggle, though ao dai stall 114 did not take haggling as of October 2026.

For the bus, a route 02 ride of up to 10 km costs VND 8,000 per passenger. The city’s January 2024 plan allows stops of up to 5 minutes on Tran Phu in front of the market.
