Where to buy rum and fruit in Da Nang: local small shops, large hypermarkets, or night markets?

From messages by 3 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 77 days ago

TL;DR

In summer 2026 travelers recommended buying fruit in Da Nang at markets: in July the night market had pineapples at 20,000 VND per kg, though small and a bit pricier, while a local market had plenty of fruit at normal Vietnamese prices. Small neighbourhood shops had a poor choice of local rum, so travelers looked for larger supermarkets instead.

What the community said

At the Da Nang night market in mid-July 2026 a traveler bought fruit and liked it, although prices there are higher than elsewhere. A price benchmark: pineapples at 20,000 VND per kg, but the fruit was small. The night market works if you want to pick up fruit during an evening walk, but it is not the cheapest option.

If you are struggling to find fruit: in July 2026 a traveler noted that there are not many street vendors, but a local market (she did not catch its name) had loads of fruit at normal Vietnamese prices, along with fresh seafood and vegetables. If the night market feels expensive, try one of the neighbourhood day markets.

For local rum, travelers in Da Nang found the choice in small neighbourhood shops limited: in late July 2026 one group checked the nearest stores and found nothing good enough for gifts, and in June someone complained about rum running out. That is why travelers looking for a specific brand, such as Chavet rum, asked about large hypermarkets and dedicated liquor stores rather than corner shops. Check availability of a particular brand in person.
