6. 5 Important Notes When Visiting An Thượng Night Market

Prepare cash + payment app

Most stalls support QR code scanning, but some small food items or parking services only accept cash. Therefore, you should carry some small change in addition to using your e-wallet. This will help you be more prepared, especially during peak hours close to the opening time of An Thượng Night Market when the number of visitors increases significantly.

Comfortable clothing, with a light jacket

The evening air near the beach is quite cool and sometimes windy. Wearing comfortable clothes and sneakers will help you walk through the market without hurting your feet. A light jacket is a smart choice – it's easy to move around in and keeps you warm when the temperature drops.
