Shopping in Da Nang in 2026: markets, malls, souvenirs

Q: Where can I buy marble souvenirs in Da Nang?

Only in Non Nuoc village at the foot of the Marble Mountains, a 15-minute taxi from the centre. Small pieces like bracelets start around $8, sculptures from about $40. Bonus: you can visit the Marble Mountains themselves while you're there.

Da Nang has two markets with 2,500+ stalls between them, four shopping malls, and a whole village of marble workshops at the foot of the mountains. Coffee starts at about $2 for half a kilo, a silk scarf from ~$8, and a hand-carved marble figurine can go home for ~$20. Below: real addresses, prices in dong and dollars, a map, and how not to overpay.

Chợ Hàn market roars with tourist souvenirs, Chợ Cồn sells at local prices, and Vincom Plaza stocks H&M and Nike. A story of its own is Non Nướcvillage, where 500 workshops have been carving marble for 400 years. Da Nang is Vietnam's fifth-largest city, but the shopping is compact: every key spot sits within a 15-minute taxi ride.

Da Nang markets — from touristy Han to wholesale Con

Da Nang has two main markets and three night markets. Han is the tourist stop for souvenirs; Con is for anyone chasing local prices. In the evening the night markets take over with street food and odds and ends.

Han Market (Chợ Hàn)

Address: 119 Trần Phú, Hải Châu district. Open 6:00–19:00 (some stalls until 22:00).

A two-storey building of about 28,000 m² with 576 stalls. The ground floor is food: dried seafood, fish sauce, coffee, spices, sweets, fruit and ready-to-eat dishes. The upper floor is clothing, shoes, bags, fabrics and souvenirs.

Han sits at a junction of four streets — Trần Phú, Bạch Đằng, Hùng Vương and Nguyễn Văn Linh— right by the Han River, so it's easy to find.

⚠️

Prices for foreigners are marked up 2–3×.Bargain. The best time is the morning, roughly 10:00–14:00, when it's quieter. You can realistically talk the price down to 40–50% of the opening figure.

Con Market (Chợ Cồn)

Address: 290 Hùng Vương, Hải Châu district. Open 6:00–18:00.

Da Nang's biggest wholesale market: 2,000+ stalls across 14,000 m². Three zones — a covered food court, dry goods (clothes, shoes, fabrics, household items) and an outdoor seafood section.

Con was founded in 1940 on a sand dune, which is where the name comes from (chợ Cồnmeans "market on the dune"). Locals shop here, not tourists, so prices run lower than at Han. Downsides: it's loud, the seafood section smells strong, and vendors rarely speak English.

💡

Shoes and bags are cheaper here than in the malls. Head up to the second floor — it's calmer, and you can find fabric to have something tailored.

Night markets

Chợ Đêm Sơn Trà (Son Tra Night Market)— right by the Dragon Bridge. Street food, souvenirs, clothes. Free entry, open daily 18:00 to midnight. On weekend evenings the bridge "breathes fire" — a show you can watch straight from the market.

Chợ Đêm Helio— Da Nang's largest night market, on 2/9 Street. Food from Korea, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam; short massages (15–30 min) and game zones. Open 17:30–22:30, busiest Friday to Sunday.

Bạch Đằng pedestrian street— the Han River promenade, open since June 2024. Street performers, a mini-market, cafés. Nice for a stroll, but there's little to actually buy compared with Son Tra or Helio.

Lotte Mart

Address: 6 Nại Nam, Hải Châu district. Hours: 8:00–22:00.

Five floors in the Korean format. The headline draw is K-beauty: Korean cosmetics and skincare, cheaper than at home for most travellers. Also clothing, electronics and homeware, with a Korean food court on the top floor. Free parking.

🎯

GO! and Vinh Trung Plaza

GO! (formerly Big C) — 255 Hùng Vương. A hypermarket with groceries, clothing and appliances. Free delivery on purchases over 200,000 VND (~$8). A solid choice for a grocery haul.

Shopping streets — clothes cheaper than the malls

Vietnamese shopping street with clothing shops and motorbikes — A Vietnamese shopping street — fixed prices, no haggling, and air-conditioning

Don't want to pay for a brand but need decent clothes? On Da Nang's shopping streets prices run 30–50% below the malls, and there's no bargaining — the tags are fixed.

Lê Duẩn — hundreds of shops

A street just over the bridge from the centre. Hundreds of clothing shops in a row: dresses, shirts, jeans, shoes. Market prices, but without the haggling. Mostly Vietnamese labels and factory-made pieces — you'll occasionally spot solid items from global brands, sewn in local factories.

Nearby you'll find small workshops making handmade footwear. Leather sandals and shoes from 300,000 VND (~$12).

An Thượng — the expat quarter

100 metres from Mỹ Khêbeach. Cafés, restaurants, souvenir shops, spas, barbershops — the densest cluster of foreigner-friendly places in Da Nang. It's less about shopping and more about atmosphere: craft beer, specialty coffee, brunches for $5–15. Come in the evening; midday it's hot and empty.

📌

Where to eat in Da Nang → the food guide

Hùng Vương, Hoàng Diệu, Phan Chu Trinh

Central streets lined with clothing, shoe and souvenir shops. Fixed prices, air-conditioned interiors. Less colourful than the markets, but calmer and haggle-free.

Non Nuoc village — 400 years of stone carving

Craftsman carving a pattern into stone in a Vietnamese village workshop — A stone carver at work — the 400-year tradition of Non Nuoc village by the Marble Mountains

Vietnamese coffee and conical hats are sold everywhere. Handmade marble pieces — only here, at the Marble Mountains.

Làng Đá Non Nước is a stone-carving village in the Ngũ Hành Sơn district, 12 km south of central Da Nang, with 500+ workshops and shops. Entry is free — just walk in and watch the masters work the stone.

What they sell:

Marble sculptures (Buddhas, dragons, animals) — from 1,000,000 VND (~$40)
Bracelets, rings, pendants — from 200,000 VND (~$8)
Incense burners, candle holders, vases — from 500,000 VND (~$20)
Large decorative pieces — from several million dong

Bargaining is fine, but the markup is smaller than at the markets. The carvers know what their work is worth.

Getting there:a taxi from the centre takes 15 minutes and runs 100,000–150,000 VND (~$4–6). Combine the trip with the Marble Mountains — they're a 5-minute walk away.

⚠️

Marble is heavy. A medium statue weighs 3–5 kg. Check your spare baggage allowance before you buy.

🤓

Did you know? Non Nước village is over 400 years old, the craft passed down through generations. The carvers once worked only with marble from the Marble Mountains, but today the stone is trucked in from all over Vietnam.

What to bring home from Da Nang: 8 best buys

A sack of roasted coffee beans held by a barista at a coffee roastery — Vietnam is the world's second-biggest coffee producer, and prices run a fraction of Western retail

Coffee, silk and conical hats are sold in every Vietnamese city. Handmade marble, though — only in Da Nang, at the Marble Mountains.

1. Coffee

Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee producer after Brazil. The main variety is robusta (strong, bitter). Arabica from Da Lat is milder and about 30% pricier.

Trung Nguyen 500 g: 50,000–100,000 VND (~$2–4) — the best-known Vietnamese brand
Me Trang 500 g: 70,000–150,000 VND (~$3–6) — smoother, popular with expats
Weasel coffee / civet: the real thing runs from 1,300,000 VND (~$52) per 100 g. Anything under $10 a pack is fake

Where: supermarkets (fixed price, no haggling), Han Market (bargain, wider choice), Con Market (wholesale prices).

2. Marble pieces (Da Nang only)

Non Nước marble village — 500+ workshops at the foot of the Marble Mountains. Sculptures, bracelets, rings, pendants, incense burners, vases. Small figurines from 500,000 VND (~$20); large works from several million dong.

At the markets they sell plastic for 50,000–200,000 VND. If a price looks too good to be true, it isn't a pearl.

5. Clothing

Vietnamese factories sew for Nike, Adidas, The North Face and dozens of other labels. Brand stores in Vincom run 30–50% below Western prices.

Vietnamese brands: IVY moda — stylish womenswear, Canifa — basics, Bitis — sports shoes popular with locals.

Shopping tips for Da Nang

Bright rolls of Vietnamese fabric with traditional patterns on a market stall — Vietnamese fabric — from ~$2 a metre at the markets, from ~$5 in shops

How to bargain

At Han and Con markets the opening price for a foreigner is inflated 2–3×. Haggling is part of the culture, not rudeness.

Ask the price. The vendor quotes the "foreigner" price
Offer 30–40% of it
Bump up in ~10% steps until you meet
If you can't agree, turn and walk. About 70% of the time they call you back
Your phone calculator is your best tool — show the number when words run out

Smile. Vietnamese vendors treat bargaining as a friendly game, not a fight. Cash in dong gets you a better result than dollars.

In malls and supermarkets prices are fixed and haggling doesn't work.
