About this experience

Artisan Markets in Dong Island is a weekly open-air market on Dong Island, Lý Sơn, showcasing local crafts and produce. The market operates every Saturday morning from 7:00 to 11:00, set along the island's main harbour promenade. It features handmade ceramics, woven palm-leaf items, and fresh seafood sold directly by island households.

What to expect

  • Browse stalls of hand-thrown clay pots and bowls fired in the island's two remaining kilns
  • Watch a live coconut-leaf weaving demonstration by elderly islanders, with finished baskets for sale
  • Taste grilled squid and sea urchin roe prepared on charcoal braziers at the food section
  • Purchase small jars of Lý Sơn garlic honey, a local specialty made from the island's purple garlic
  • The market spans roughly 300 metres along the harbour, with 40 to 50 vendor stalls
  • Suitable for visitors seeking authentic local trade goods, not tourist souvenirs; bring cash as no card payments are accepted
