Shopping in Halong City

Posted by karlss[email protected] on
Though there are limited alternatives for shopping in Halong Bay, what is actually available can be very interesting. Try the market at Bai Chay Town night. It is set up with several small open-air stalls with good collections of Vietnamese products includes the famous traditional Vietnamese silk dress (ao dai), lacquerware, chopsticks, trinkets, ceramic tea sets, Vietnamese conical hats (nón lá) and dolls. Experienced shoppers recommend bargaining difficult to 30-50% for the original offered price. Most shops accept US Dollars along with the currency that is local Dong.
Another fun way of shopping is from small floating shops. Local people row boats filled up with goods such as for example beer, vodka, cigarettes, potato chips, cookies as well as other snacks. Their small boats are often laden with goods in an exceedingly organised way and even though you're not buying anything these vessels are fascinating to see and photograph.

It is important for shoppers to not ever encourage vendors selling stalagmites and stalactites as they should stay where they belong – inside Halong’s caves and grottos.
