Trading activities
Even though in the old days, Han Market was only a modest
trading venue for small businessmen, the convenient and ideal location have enabled
it to develop into a big trading center near Han River, from which people gave
it the name Han Market. The market was officially opened in the 1940s. The
French constructed there a big train system called Tourane Marché to transport
goods to the main station. As the business grew unceasingly, some Chinese and
Vietnamese businessmen decided to build a commercial center around the market
with grocery stores, jewelry stores, pharmacy stores, etc. In 1989, the market
was fully renovated. Nowadays, as the renovation gives the market a spacious
and refreshing atmosphere, the arrangement of stores inside the market also
gives the customers a relaxing feeling when shopping there.
Interestingly, local inhabitants used to regard the market
as “rich market” because it was extremely popular among the more well-off
classes of the society. Today that term is absolutely out of place, as everyone
enjoys shopping there. A plenty of goods ranging from fresh foods (vegetables,
fruits, fishes and meats) to clothes is traded all day long. However, the most
special thing to look for at the market is probably fish sauce: the familiar
yet unique food of the Central Regions.
In addition to the variety of choices, Han Market also
attracts a lot of people by its relatively low prices because it functions as
the center where goods are gathered before being distributed to smaller markets
in the province.
