Han Market sits on the Han River (Sông Hàn) and dates from the 1940s. The ground floor sells clothes, spices, fruit and seafood; the upper floor has traditional áo dài and embroidery. Vietnamese coffee, dried mango and fruit are bargained over briskly, which makes it a popular first-day stop to get a feel for Da Nang. A common approach is to start at 60 to 70% of the asking price and meet in the middle once or twice.
