Night streets and markets

Charcoal smoke, food carts and fire at nine — the night runs along the river

Da Nang's night turns around the river. When the sun goes down, carts go up on both banks, every bridge changes colour, and at nine on a weekend the Dragon Bridge breathes fire and water.

The usual route runs like this — 18:30 Son Tra night market for charcoal prawns and squid, 20:30 walk to the Dragon Bridge and find a spot, 21:00 the show, then back along the Bach Dang riverside promenade. All of it on foot.

The daytime markets hold their own. In the snack alleys of Han Market and Con Market, chè, sea snails and bánh bèo come in small bowls, which is the right way to try several things at once. Most stalls take cash only, so bring small notes.

Son Tra Night Market

Walk into the smoke and forty stalls are waiting

A night market you can walk to from the east end of the Dragon Bridge. Around forty food stalls sit together, built around prawns, squid and clams going onto charcoal. Bánh xèo, rice rolls and chè fill in around them. It starts filling up around half six, which is when to arrive.

An Thuong Night Market

Close enough to walk out in flip-flops

A small night market inside the hotel district behind My Khe beach. It is smaller than Son Tra, but you can walk there and plenty of stalls manage English. Honestly, the bigger draw is the surrounding An Thuong lanes, which turn into a strip of restaurants and bars after five.

Bach Dang Walking Street

Eat, walk, and the bridge lights keep following you

A pedestrian promenade along the west bank of the Han River. In the evening food carts and buskers move in, and the lights and bridges across the water become the backdrop — which makes walking with no destination the point. The Dragon Bridge and the Love Bridge are both within reach on foot.

Han Market

Standing since the French era — the food is on the ground floor

The main covered market in central Da Nang, running since the French colonial period. The ground floor holds food counters serving bánh xèo, noodle bowls and chè; the upper floors are silk, ao dai and souvenirs. Plenty of visitors come through, so haggling over goods is expected.

Con Market

More locals than visitors — and the real thing is down the inner alley

Less touristed than Han Market, and mostly local. Down the inner snack alley, stalls line up selling chè, sea snails and bánh bèo — all in small bowls, which is exactly right for tasting your way through several things.
