The only market on Con Dao: a local market by day and a seafood market by night
Con Dao Market lies in the centre of the Con Dao special zone, Ho Chi Minh City. Con Dao is an isolated island district, and many travel sites describe this as the only market on the whole island, the place where every daily necessity for residents and visitors is brought together. By day it works like a country market serving the islanders; by night it turns into a seafood night market for travellers coming back from a day at the island's historical sites. Because goods depend on boats and aircraft from the mainland, prices here are usually higher than on the mainland.
