Dong Xuan Market

Hanoi


This large, non-touristy market is located in the Old Quarter, 900m north of Hoan Kiem Lake. There are hundreds of stalls here and lots of the goods are household items or tat, but it’s a fascinating place to explore to catch the flavour of local Hanoian life. The area around it also has loads of bustling shops, and more stalls appear at night.
