Han Market

This is an attractive market. It is quite large, airy and clean. They have a wet market and a dry market. The wet market has a meat section and a vegetable section. There are also food stalls selling food and drinks. The rest of the market is filled with stalls selling clothes and other dry goods. Most tourists zoom in for the cashew nuts, coffee and the fridge magnets.

A traditional market in the city center, opposite to the beauty Han river. They provide all kinds of thing, from customer goods to souvenirs with relatively inexpensive prices. The good thing is no bargain here or just very little. Almost sellers are okay because they all follow the regulations here. Clothing materials are not very good.

Han Market is chaotic, crowded, and definitely not the most pleasant-smelling place—especially near the wet market section (seriously, sometimes it’s stomach-turning). The aisles are super tight, and the sellers can be really aggressive, so be ready to bargain. That said, if you’re looking for cheap Crocs, jackets, or Vietnamese snacks, you’ll find some good deals here. Just come prepared mentally for the sensory overload! We’ve been here a few times, and while it’s an experience, it’s not a place we’d wander through just for fun. The flower vendors are the highlight for me.

I came here on a Friday night so there was quite a bit of people and especially on the second floor it was hard to walk freely without having a body of people in your way. There’s a ton of stuff such as clothing, shoe wear, keychains, jewelry, food towards one of the sides, surprisingly a ton of these little and big crochet dolls or characters, and way more. There’s two levels to the market the first level has accessories, souvenirs, food and the second floor has clothing, shoes, bags, and more. I think with some stores you can haggle a bit but with stores that already have a price tag I suggest not to haggle. I went early the next morning and there wasn’t a lot of people yet at the same time not a lot of stores were open yet. So I think a perfect time to go is towards the afternoon. Overall, if you like buying souvenirs, for memory or are just shopping for clothing at a decent price this is your place to go.

This market is better than con market at least I thought so. I still didn’t find what I was looking for but they seemed to have more shops and vendors here. They have some good restaurants with reasonable prices as well. Free parking lot. Recommended

Too crowded and stinky.. Many sick people also comming here which is not good because you can easily get infected!!! Prices are also soo much higher than in con market but ofc you can always negotiate.... When we came most of the customers were Koreans..They were scattered everywhere,you will get tired listening to them😂. They sell plenty of stuff and if you want to try your luck just come here😅.

Go early in the morning to avoid crowd. Material of the clothing are generally good. Some stalls have rivalry, so make sure u stand nearer to the side of the stall you are buying from and don’t block their neighbours’ stall. We had a GREAT time buying from stall 16! Super sincere and nice couple. Very generous in letting us try out before purchase. Can speak reasonable amount of mandarin and English. Highly recommend if you wanna buy some local delights. All the best to your baby’s arrival soon!

It is a bit intimidating to have to bargain and haggle. It would be great to have fixed prices to reduce the stress for everyone. Not even sure if I got a good price but I got a jacket for 280,000 vnd (they quoted 350,000 vnd). There’s lots of fake crocs here - I’m hearing prices like 150,000 vnd being transacted. Some shirts go at 50,000 vnd which is cheap but I’m also hearing people pay 90,000 vnd. Put on your haggler hat and you may enjoy this. Else, go around the Han market and you can find some similar items without having to haggle so much. There’s some store nearby called Tabalo which I saw had similar items
