Shopping in Da Lat
Vietnamese tourists make up the majority of Dalat’s visitors, and most of them leave with a lot of goods. They enjoy bringing home items like coffee, green and artichoke tea, local wine, dried venison, orchids, strawberries, avocados, and other fresh vegetables. They also enjoy bringing home dried and candied fruits, strawberry preserves, and coffee. If you go on any kind of guided tour, there’s a good possibility that you’ll spend a half-hour at a store that sells these things. In the expansive central market near Nguyen Thi Minh Khai and Le Dai Hanh, there are also a ton of regional delicacies available for purchase. The market features dozens of small stalls selling a wide range of things, including fruits and vegetables, apparel, and other items, some of which are covered and some of which are outside. On the upper floor, a grocery sells travel-related essentials. A popular nighttime activity is to stroll through the market, which is constantly bustling with thousands of tourists wearing sweaters.
There aren’t many high-end handicrafts in Dalat that are popular with foreign tourists. However, Dalat is renowned for its exquisitely made silk embroidered artwork, which may be acquired at a significant markup from the numerous galleries in and around Dalat or for a much lower cost from the main Dalat market.
If you intend to stay in Dalat for a few days and want to spruce up your hotel room or prepare your own meals, Dalat also boasts a plethora of fruit, vegetables, and flowers that you can buy.
