Chợ Cồn, Đà Nẵng

Chợ Cồn is located right in the city center and covers an expansive area of up to 14.000m2. It is the busiest place in Đà Nẵng, with more than 2000 stalls spread across the market's 3 floors.

Chợ Cồn dates back to the 20th century, when it was built by the French. The name "Chợ Cồn" comes from the fact that the market once stood on a vast sand dune surrounded by thorny cacti.

Thanks to its prime location near the interprovincial bus station, Chợ Cồn became a convenient trading hub for merchants from Thừa Thiên Huế and Quảng Nam provinces. This is why Chợ Cồn is now known as the center of "Đà Nẵng Commerce" and the largest wholesale market in Đà Thành.
