Food & shopping heaven in Da Nang 🛍️🍽️🇻🇳

#newyearadventure

I began 2023 with a new adventure in Da Nang, Vietnam. Apart from sightseeing and going to the beach, I was determined to try the most delicious yet cheapest night market food, and do lots of shopping. Thankfully, a local friend revealed the most popular night markets frequented by locals, and one of them was Cho Dem Son Tra. (For the cheapest stuff, go where the locals go!)

Cho Dem Son Tra is located at a T-junction at the end of the Dragon Bridge by the Han River. It's a huge area, and has 3 main streets: 1 for souvenirs & massages, 1 for clothing & snacks, 1 for food & dining. It took half an hour to walk the whole market, and things are much cheaper than at places with many tourists. There is also a stage where local performers entertain visitors through the night!

I recommend trying the fresh seafood (you can pick them yourself) and the local BBQ varities. They are extremely cheap (VND200.000 for 30 grilled oysters). Souvenirs, clothing, and food can all be bargained, so don't be shy!

Tips for visiting Son Tra Night Market:
- Motorbike parking is VND3.000
- Come with an empty stomach
- Book your own Grab and avoid "taxi" services
