Located in a prime location at the foot of the Dragon Bridge, Son Tra Night Market has long been a familiar destination for tourists when coming to Da Nang. This place attracts a large number of tourists, especially on weekend nights or during festivals, when visitors can shop for souvenirs, enjoy local specialties, immerse themselves in the vibrant, bustling atmosphere of the city at night and watch the Dragon Bridge breathe fire and water impressively.

However, according to the latest announcement from the People's Committee of Son Tra District, Da Nang City, Son Tra Night Market will officially close its operations from July 1, 2024. The reason given is that the land lease contract between the People's Committee of Son Tra District and the night market management unit has expired and will not be renewed.
The closure of Son Tra night market is expected to have a significant impact on tourism activities in Da Nang city. However, many local people also expressed their agreement with this decision, because the night market has recently had many problems such as: fake goods, poor quality goods, high prices, tourist scams...
Son Tra night market attracts thousands of visitors every night.
Currently, the People's Committee of Son Tra District is researching and surveying to find a new suitable location for organizing a tourist night market. Hopefully, in the future, Da Nang will have a new, spacious and modern night market, better meeting the needs of tourists and contributing to the development of the city's tourism industry.
