True to its name, the Afternoon Market (located at the intersection of Le Tan Trung - Ho Hoc Lam Street in Man Thai Ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang City) only opens from 3pm to around 7pm every day. The market will gradually close at dusk when the shrimp trays, fish baskets, squid baskets, etc. of the women and mothers are sold out to customers.
Da Nang Afternoon Market is held every afternoon.
In March, the weather in the Central region is favorable, which is also the time when the market is busiest. Seafood is purchased by traders from fishing boats returning in the early afternoon and brought directly to the market, so it is diverse, fresh... and the prices are quite reasonable. Live snails (depending on size) are from 200,000 - 300,000 VND/kg; shrimp is 200,000 - 250,000 VND/kg; squid is from 200,000 - 300,000 VND/kg...

The peak time is around 4pm every day, when shoppers have to squeeze their way in to get inside. Therefore, the "tip" for going to the Afternoon Market is to go a little earlier than this time to buy fresh seafood without having to move step by step.
The market sells seasonal seafood and is collected from ships arriving on shore in the early afternoon every day, so it is still fresh.
Having visited this Chieu market to buy seafood to treat friends from afar, Mr. Nguyen Van Hai (residing in Nai Hien Dong Ward, Son Tra District), commented that although the market is a bit cramped, in return, "lost" in the market, you can freely choose seafood without worrying about being ripped off because the seafood is fresh and quite cheap.
"I have witnessed foreign visitors, especially from China and Korea, coming to Chieu Market to buy seafood. The vendors are not only friendly but also always sell at the same price, without any "ripping off" of foreign visitors...", Mr. Hai said.

Joining his friends to go to the Afternoon Market, Mr. Tran Van Ky (a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City) was excited when standing in front of the fresh seafood market that opens in the afternoon: "When mentioning Da Nang, we are talking about fresh seafood. Therefore, having a big market like the Afternoon Market for us to buy seafood to bring home to our friends, and cook delicious dishes for each other in the afternoon and evening is really interesting..."

"Lost" in the Afternoon Market, visitors will see with their own eyes a lot of fresh fish, squid...
It's currently the season for seaweed, large oysters and anchovies (also known as porridge fish), so these seafoods are sold quite a lot at the Chieu market.
