Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills - Top 9 Local Markets in Da Nang for Food and Central Vietnam Specialties

Local markets in Da Nang offer a direct way to explore the city’s food, regional products and everyday culture. Visitors can sample Central Vietnamese dishes, shop for packaged specialties, browse fresh seafood and experience the daily routines of local communities.

This guide covers nine of the best local markets in Da Nang based on their food choices, local character, accessibility and range of goods. Opening times are approximate because individual stalls may follow different schedules.

Why Visit Local Markets in Da Nang?

Traditional markets bring many Central Vietnamese foods and ingredients together in one place. Common finds include fish sauce, dried seafood, rice paper, Mi Quang, bun mam nem, banh beo, tropical fruit and local snacks.

Each market offers a different experience. Con Market and Bac My An Market are strong choices for local food, Han Market is convenient for souvenirs, while Dong Da and Man Thai markets focus more on seafood. Da Nang’s night markets combine evening dining with shopping and sightseeing.

1. Con Market – Best for a Da Nang Food Tour

Location: Hung Vuong Street, near Ong Ich Khiem and Quang Trung streets
Approximate opening hours: 7:00 am–7:00 pm
Best suited to: Local food, regional specialties and first-time visitors

Con Market is one of the best places to sample a wide range of Da Nang dishes in one visit. The market includes prepared food areas, fresh produce stalls, dried goods and everyday household products.

Popular dishes include Mi Quang, bun mam, banh xeo, banh beo, rice paper rolls with pork, sweet soups and local snacks. Portions are often suitable for sharing, allowing couples and small groups to try several dishes.

The market also sells fish sauce, spices, dried seafood, sweets and packaged specialties. Check expiry dates, storage instructions and baggage restrictions before buying food to take home.

2. Han Market – Best for Souvenirs and Local Specialties

Address: 119 Tran Phu Street, Da Nang
Approximate opening hours: 6:00 am–7:00 pm
Best suited to: Souvenir shopping, first-time visitors and central sightseeing

Han Market is centrally located near the Han River, Bach Dang Street and several major city attractions. It is a convenient stop for travellers who want to combine shopping with a day in central Da Nang.

The market sells fish sauce, dried seafood, coffee, spices, sweets, fruit, clothing, fabrics and souvenirs. Visitors can also find local dishes such as bun mam, banh beo, banh nam and simple snacks.

Han Market is better suited to shopping than an extended food tour. Confirm the weight, origin, expiry date and packaging of food products before purchasing.

3. Bac My An Market – Best for Affordable Street Food

Address: 25 Nguyen Ba Lan Street, Da Nang
Approximate opening hours: 6:00 am–7:00 pm
Best suited to: Budget-friendly food, snacks and travellers staying near the beach

Bac My An Market is known for affordable food stalls serving local residents and students. Its location near the beach area makes it an accessible option for visitors staying in Ngu Hanh Son.

Avocado ice cream is the market’s best-known specialty. Other choices include Mi Quang, bun mam nem, banh xeo, stir-fried snails, fried snacks and a range of casual local dishes.

Visit in the morning to see the fresh produce section at its busiest. Late afternoon is better for travellers mainly interested in food and snacks.

4. Dong Da Market – Best for Fresh and Dried Seafood

Address: 42 Luong Ngoc Quyen Street, Da Nang
Approximate opening hours: 6:00 am–7:00 pm
Best suited to: Seafood, local ingredients and a traditional market experience

Dong Da Market mainly serves residents in the Thuan Phuoc area. Its stalls sell fish, prawns, squid, crabs, shellfish, vegetables, spices and other everyday products.

Travellers looking for edible souvenirs can browse dried squid, fish and prawns. Ask vendors about storage, vacuum packaging and airline baggage requirements before purchasing.

Dong Da is a working neighbourhood market rather than a tourist attraction. Visit with a small bag and avoid blocking narrow walkways or delivery areas during busy periods.

5. Man Thai Market – Best for Coastal Market Life

Location: Tran Duy Chien Street, Da Nang
Approximate opening hours: Morning to evening, depending on the stall
Best suited to: Seafood, fresh ingredients and local coastal culture

Man Thai Market is located in Son Tra and serves communities living near Da Nang’s coastline. Seafood and fresh produce are the main focus, with fewer souvenir shops than Han Market or Con Market.

Visitors can browse fish, prawns, squid, shellfish, vegetables, fruit, spices and household products. The market provides a closer look at food shopping in a coastal neighbourhood.

Man Thai Market is not designed for quick souvenir shopping. It is more suitable for travellers interested in seafood, local photography and areas beyond Da Nang’s main visitor routes.

6. Son Tra Night Market – Best for Evening Food Near Dragon Bridge

Location: Ly Nam De and Mai Hac De streets, near Dragon Bridge
Approximate opening hours: 5:30 pm until late
Best suited to: Dinner, small souvenirs and evening sightseeing

Son Tra Night Market is within walking distance of Dragon Bridge, Love Bridge and the Han River. Its location makes it easy to combine dinner with an evening walk through central Da Nang.

Food stalls serve grilled seafood, barbecue dishes, grilled rice paper, snacks and drinks. Check displayed prices and confirm whether seafood is charged by portion or weight before ordering.

The market is usually busiest between 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm. Arriving earlier provides more time to browse before visiting the riverfront or watching the Dragon Bridge show on scheduled evenings.

7. Helio Night Market – Best for Families and Groups

Address: 01 September 2 Street, Da Nang
Approximate opening hours: 5:30 pm–10:30 pm
Best suited to: Families, groups of friends and evening dining

Helio Night Market offers seafood, grilled dishes, snacks and drinks in an organised dining area. Shared seating and entertainment make it more convenient for families and larger groups than a narrow traditional market.

Visitors can compare stalls before ordering and bring their food to a common seating area. This arrangement allows group members to choose different dishes while dining together.

Helio is suitable for an evening focused on food and entertainment. Travellers seeking a more traditional market experience should prioritise Con Market, Han Market or Bac My An Market.

8. Hoa Khanh Market – Best for Exploring Western Da Nang

Location: Au Co Street, near Nguyen Luong Bang Street
Approximate opening hours: Open from morning, with evening stalls becoming busier after 6:00 pm
Best suited to: Local shopping, affordable goods and visitors exploring Lien Chieu

Hoa Khanh Market is a major shopping area in Lien Chieu. It serves local residents, workers and students from nearby neighbourhoods and universities.

The market sells fresh food, clothing, footwear, household goods and other everyday products. Food and shopping stalls around the market become busier in the evening, although closing times vary.

Hoa Khanh Market is worth visiting when exploring western or northwestern Da Nang. Travellers with limited time in the city centre may find Con Market or Han Market more convenient.

9. Cho Moi – Best for a Morning Market Experience

Address: 212 Hoang Dieu Street, Da Nang
Approximate opening hours: Busiest from 6:30 am–8:30 am, with many stalls continuing into the afternoon
Best suited to: Fresh produce, fruit and everyday local life

Cho Moi is a neighbourhood market selling vegetables, fruit, fresh food, dried goods and household products. Its location on Hoang Dieu Street is convenient for travellers staying in central Da Nang.

Morning is the best time to see the market at its busiest and browse the widest range of fresh produce. Some sections become quieter or close after midday.

Cho Moi does not have a large dining area like Con Market. Its main appeal is the opportunity to observe daily shopping in a central residential neighbourhood.

Which Local Market in Da Nang Should You Visit?

Choose a market based on the experience you want. Con Market is the strongest option for trying several local dishes, while Bac My An Market offers affordable street food in a more casual setting.

Han Market is convenient for packaged specialties, dried food and souvenirs. Dong Da and Man Thai markets are better for seafood, while Son Tra and Helio night markets suit an evening itinerary.

Hoa Khanh Market and Cho Moi provide a more residential experience. They are suitable for travellers who want to explore daily life outside Da Nang’s main tourist areas.

Opening hours may change during holidays and can vary between stalls. Check current map listings before travelling.

Where to Stay When Visiting Da Nang Markets and Ba Na Hills

Travellers planning to visit central markets, the Han River and city attractions should consider staying in central Da Nang or near the beach. These areas provide easier access to Han Market, Con Market, Bac My An Market and the main night markets.

A trip that also includes Ba Na Hills can be divided into two stages. After exploring Da Nang’s markets and local food, visitors can continue to Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills for an overnight stay in the French Village.

The hotel offers 448 rooms across 11 categories for couples, families and groups. Couples can choose a Deluxe King Room, while families with young children may prefer a Family Deluxe Room with bunk beds.
