Halong Night Market

This guide to Halong Night Market traces Sun Carnival Square from a scattered, unlit flea market by the bay to the roughly ten-thousand-square-meter, two-story bazaar rebuilt around 2015. You'll hear how the ground floor fills with handicrafts, pearl jewelry and lacquer paintings while the floor above turns to grilled squid and seafood, and about the fountain shows most Friday and Saturday nights. Arrive as the nine o'clock rush of buses lets loose, when fireworks light the square.
