Da Lat market was originally built in 1929. It became an important part of Lam Dong province due to the brisk trade done in the area. In its early days, the market had a simple and spacious layout. For most local people, the market was one of the few places where they could purchase goods.
Over time, ethnic minority people from neighboring areas began going to the market to trade. It becomes now one of the most colorful and lively markets in the country.
Hundreds of stalls display a wide array of flowers, fruits and vegetables from the tropical and temperate zones. From here come most of the flowers and fresh vegetables that are sent to Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces.
