8 Danang Han Market shopping tips for success and the prices of products Koreans frequently buy 💵

[8 Great Tips for Successful Shopping at Han Market in Da Nang]

1. 99.9% of them are fakes (knockoffs, lol😋)

– At Han Market in Da Nang, forget any expectations of genuine quality. If you just enjoy it, you'll actually be satisfied. Cheap, so cheap!

2. Still, a quality check is a must ✔️

– No matter how much it's a knockoff or how cheap it is, the basics still need to be covered, right? Checking the stitching, size, zipper, and handle condition is a must!

– The size often differs from what's on the tag. For shoes, please be sure to check whether they're even a matching pair.

3. Prepare cash 💸

– Bring plenty of small denominations of Vietnamese dong (VND). And pay by calculating the amount yourself.

– It's said that there are sometimes merchants who pretend to make a calculation mistake and take more money than they should.

4. Haggling is just for fun 🔽

– The price difference is usually at most 2,000–3,000 won, so it's only something they discount a bit when you buy several at once.

– It's easier if you think of haggling itself as part of the trip. There's no need for either side to get upset.

– To the sellers.. There's no way to win, haha. They even ask the price and then get mad if you don't buy. So please go in knowing roughly the market price, so you don't make a mistake.

5. Shopping bag/cart required 🛍️

– Market bags are weak and tear easily. Please bring an eco bag or a small carrier.

6. Morning visit recommended ⏲️

– It's really hot and humid in the afternoon. The morning is pleasant. However, if you go too early, many places aren't open yet.

– I'd recommend around 9 o'clock

7. If you're sensitive about hygiene, please skip the 1st floor 👃

– The 1st floor has a strong smell. If you're mainly here for souvenir and clothing shopping, it's better to just look around the 2nd floor.

8. If you'd like to try on the shoes, I recommend bringing socks 🧦

They lend out socks and they're not clean lol. I'd recommend either wearing a plastic bag over your feet first or just bringing your own.
