TL;DR
Unlike Nha Trang, souvenir and jewelry shops aren't on every corner in Da Nang — you have to search for what you want. Bus tours (e.g. Pegas) often stop at a large store selling pearl jewelry and gemstones, mostly a commercial stop rather than a must-buy.
Some travelers used to specifically hunt down local edible souvenirs like coffee or sweets — tastier than store-bought ones — but skipped the effort this time since it requires driving around.
Organized group tours (e.g. Pegas) bring tourists to a large store selling pearl jewelry and gemstones — a standard stop on the route.
Unlike Nha Trang, Da Nang doesn't have souvenir shops, fruit stalls, and jewelry stores everywhere — finding a specific item to buy can turn into a real search.
