Introduction to Han Market Da Nang
In the Thien Nam Tu Chi Lo Do Thư compiled by Do Ba in the mid-17th century, Han Market was mentioned as one of the culinary centers of the Quang region. Until the end of the 19th century, the French built Han Market with two distinct areas: Han Market street and Han Market area.
To facilitate large-scale trade, the French also built the La Gare Tourane-Marché intermediate railway station to transport goods to the main station on the banks of the Han River. Some agricultural products were still transported to Han Market by waterway and landed at the old station until the 1990s.
Today, Han Market is located in the city center, near the Han River swing bridge, with four sides adjacent to four major streets: Tran Phu, Bach Dang, Hung Vuong, and Nguyen Thai Hoc, with a total area of up to 28,000m², including three market halls and hundreds of kiosks arranged neatly, making shopping and sightseeing easier.
It can be seen that Han Market Da Nang was built in an extremely convenient location for transportation, and has been invested and developed for many decades, so it is not surprising that it has become an important shopping address, familiar not only to the people of Da Nang but also to tourists when visiting the city of Da Nang.
