8. Ha Long night market: Local lacquer
ware and stuffs
The night market in the
town of Bai Chay is a
collection of open air
stalls that sell a wide
range of traditional
Vietnamese souvenirs
like lacquer ware,
chopsticks, trinkets etc.
The stallholders will
quote you the price in
US$.
9. Lacquer plated chopsticks: if you are ethnic
Chinese, these chopsticks make good souvenirs as
you can use them to eat at home. Wooden
chopstick containers are also available to hold the
chopsticks.
10. Vietnamese conical
hats: the
ubiquitous conical
hats (non la) that
Vietnamese
womenfolk wear.
Hang it up on the
wall if you don't
want to look like a
clown wearing it
back home.
13. Shopping tips in Halong night market
You will have to bargain for the price you feel is
right for the product. Offer them 50% of the
quoted price in VND. If you are not satisfied with
the final price offered, move on to the next stall
- another stall keeper could be willing to sell you
the item at your price.
