Da Nang - Cho Con is known as a culinary paradise, a place that gathers many attractive local specialties that cannot be missed.

Cho Con is one of the famous tourist destinations for tourists when visiting Da Nang. The name Con Market dates back to the 40s of the last century, simply because at that time, the market was located on a high island in the heart of the city and was known as that by local people.
