In the heart of Dương Đông, Bạch Đằng Night Market (also known as Phú Quốc Night Market) is the island’s central dusk-to-midnight gathering place, where the sizzle of seafood, light chatter, and rows of stalls create a lively mix of flavors, shopping, and local culture.

History

In 2016, several smaller night markets (notably Dinh Cậu Night Market and older Bạch Đằng night zones) were merged to form this central, organized market. Over time, it expanded to more than 100 stalls across food, souvenirs, and local specialties.

Etiquette

Move slowly and respectfully through the aisles—many narrow paths. Ask sellers prices before ordering. Use polite gestures when declining items. Keep voices moderate, especially late night.

Local Practices

Locals and tourists alike visit nightly to sample local dishes—especially seafood grilled on the spot. Vendors rotate fresh stocks, and many families drop by after sunset for dinner and shopping. Some stalls accept bargaining, particularly for souvenirs or jewelry.

Nearby Attractions
