The covered market running along Bach Dang Street by the Thu Bon River is where locals do their shopping. The food section at the back is the main draw for visitors: steaming bowls of cao lau, white rose dumplings, and fresh-squeezed juice served at low plastic tables. Arrive before 9am for the full market atmosphere; most of the best food stalls pack up by mid-morning. The fish and vegetable sections give a vivid picture of what the local diet actually looks like.
