Dong Xuan Market is the largest market in Hanoi and has a wide array of products for sale over four floors. Located on the northern edge of the Old Quarter, it is an imposing Soviet-style building, surrounded on all sides by merchant shops and stalls. It is a rough-and-ready type of market, especially in the ground floor wet market area.

However, the upstairs section is where you can find cheaply printed tees, bolts of fabric and luggage sold at wholesale prices. It is quite an experience, even if you only leave with a pair of cheap sunglasses and a Vietnamese conical hat.

Hang Bac Street has been synonymous with jewelry (‘bac’ means silver in Vietnamese, after all) for hundreds of years, and this small, atmospheric street still retains many small outlets of jewelers selling rings, necklaces and many types of inexpensive fashion pieces. There isn’t one particular shop to check out; instead, take a wander from one end to the other and check out the jewelers, handicrafts and propaganda poster shops that are dotted along the street. To reach Hang Bac, start from the Water Puppet Theatre on the northern side of Hoan Kiem Lake and walk up Hang Be Street until you come to a T-junction.

There are hundreds of shoe-sellers lining the street and, while larger western men may not find much to fit, there is plenty of choice in ladies shoes. Most of the footwear consists of brand names made at Vietnamese factories that have been rejected as seconds, making them a great purchase with usually only a small imperfection. There are also plenty of retailers selling fake reproduction bags, especially where Hang Dau Street meets Lo Su Street in the Old Quarter.
