    Dong Ba Market has a good variety of goods at reasonable prices. I found, for example, that it was the cheap place to buy Vietnamese wine and fruit.

    A bottle of Vang Dalat (Vietnamese white wine) cost 35,000 VND

    Marketplace for Hue Locals

    Not far from the Hue Citadel sits this famous Dong Ba Market of Hue. This is another of the must-see sites in Hue.

    Here, you will find that the locals gather and catch up with one another with the latest news and at the same time, checking out the fresh catch of the day. This is also the place to make purchase of the local handicraft - conical hats and other wares for daily use. You will also find the local food being sold here.

    During our visit, the locals were preparing for the celebration of TET, or the Lunar New Year. Hence, all the stalls were decked with goods for the preparation of this joyous celebration.

    There are some really cool posh boutiques located near the junction to Trang Tien Bridge.

    Ladies, just get you credit card(s) ready.


    These joints located between Duy Tan Hotel and Trang Tien Bridge. And all of them are tastefully decorated and look inviting.

    Ok, I won’t show you where you can shop for Gucci or Prada in city of Hue. But I will recommend you to walk in their market place and see some local sellers, buyers and of course buy some of those interesting local crafts.

    How do you get here? Just ask any cyclo rider and you will normally get to visit this place if you’re getting them to take you for 1 hour Citadel tour.

    This rambling, covered market has a little bit of eveything. Fruit & veg, fast food, jewellery, conical "poem" hats (hold them up to the light-they reveal some lovely cut-out scenes)
    Our favourite however, was the people selling what looked like fresh cranberry-there were moths that landed on them. the stall-owners were happy to let the moths "lick" their fruit - a welcome change from a country that normally has no patience with nature.

    Snacks, fruit, jewellery

    A great place to buy fresh fruits - as well as taking interesting photo - is the Dong Ba Market in Old Hue (basically on the forbidden city side of the river). The market is in the open air - large, lively and colourful... and you can find all you need.

    Apparently you can buy the best conical hats of all Vietnam, but the few we saw on sale were cheap tourist souvenirs...

    Can you believe that we found the best apples ever in Vietnam?

    a dollar or two

    Who can describe my amazement when I saw in a Hanoi shop several copies of our Belgian most famous man: Manneke Pis, a little boy taking a pee
    In Brussels, he chanfes most of the days in some typical clothes but here he was ugly and stark naked

    When the Vietnamese have had enough children, they use their carriages to make their own driving shops

    These are the best buys in Vietnam

  • This is a huge 2 or 3 storey can't remember now market selling all sorts of treasures. There are all kinds of desinger labels here to be had a bargain prices. We girls all bought ouselves a pure silk blouse in the traditional style at a cost of $US6 each that was without bargaining hard. If you want fabric like many other markets in Vietnam you will be spoilt for choice.
    Just watch out for the rats we had one cross our path that was a s big as my cats at home!!!!
    It packs up pretty early about 6pm an dis very hot inside.
