TL;DR
Travelers in Da Nang in 2026 mostly bought fruit at markets: in early August, at the market by the Dragon Bridge, mango cost 30,000 VND, mangosteen 70,000 and yellow passion fruit 60,000. In June the fruit market charged 35,000–45,000 VND per kg for mango and 50,000–120,000 VND per kg for mangosteen. Around the hotels and on the beachfront the fruit choice was reported to be poor.
Advice from August 2026: heading south you will find many fruit stalls, and you can ask for a basket when buying — from 75,000 VND. The same participant said fruit cannot be taken on Chinese airlines with a connection — check this with your airline.
On quality: in early September 2026 travelers bought mango and pineapple on the street and everything turned out unripe; fruit in shops looked the same. In August a traveler noted that peaches and nectarines at the market were all still hard.
Market by the Dragon Bridge: in early August 2026 shoppers reported these prices — mango 30,000 VND, mangosteen 70,000, regular passion fruit 30,000, yellow passion fruit 60,000.
If you want a fruit drink rather than fruit: in July 2026 the supermarket at Vincom Plaza sold mango, passion fruit and guava smoothies for 62,000–72,000 VND.
Not every market is a bargain: in July 2026 a traveler said one market had a small fruit selection and quoted prices higher than the Lotte supermarket. Fruit baskets there cost 100,000 VND for a small one and 150,000 for a large one.
Prices from mid-July 2026: a large pineapple 30,000 VND, green mango 30,000 per kg, avocado 30,000, rambutan 45,000, sugar apple 60,000. The shopper said the pineapples were tasty.
Away from markets, fruit is harder to find. In July 2026 participants said fruit is sold in hard-to-reach spots, and if you really want, you can buy it from smoothie makers. Around the STM, Balcona and Eden hotels, shops reportedly had very little fruit, and vendors on trucks sold mostly durian and mango. In August travelers found no fruit on the beachfront or at the night market.
One traveler's overall impression in June 2026: shopping in Da Nang is so-so, and you need to go to a market for fruit.
Street stalls near your accommodation: in June 2026 a traveler wrote that daytime choice at the nearest vendors is limited, but you can find various mangoes, watermelon and pineapple; she had not come across yellow passion fruit there.
Fruit market, June 2026: a shopper said it is cheaper than elsewhere, but it smells strongly and motorbikes ride right through the pedestrian area. He bought fruit to take home: yellow mango 45,000 VND, green and red mango 35,000, mangosteen 120,000 per kg.
Another market price check in June 2026 (per kg): mangosteen 50,000 VND, pineapple 20,000, round mango 35,000. The same market sold dried squid at 1,350,000 VND and dried shrimp at 500,000 VND per kg.
