Why not buy? You have to give a price and then leave!”
Nha Xanh Market is located along Phan Van Truong Street under the Market Management Board of Cau Giay District, which is a familiar place for students. park and famous in Hanoi.
The market is open from 9am to 10pm, always crowded with buyers and sellers, especially in the evenings and weekends.
Customers The customers here are mainly students around the Cau Giay – Xuan Thuy – Cau Dien area. The products are very diverse and range in price from 50,000 VND/piece or 100,000 VND/3 pieces.
However, this place is also famous for its harsh service style. Many people compare Nha Xanh market to “cursing and scolding noodles” which is an ugly cultural feature of Hanoi. </p >
The first time I went to Nha Xanh market 3 months ago, T.Q., a 20-year-old student at the Academy of Journalism and Communication, told himself he would never come back after being scolded and slapped by a merchant for accidentally wearing it. even without buying.
“At first, the store owner even addressed me sweetly as “sister – brother” so I felt free to touch the material of the shirt and bid from 200,000 VND to 150,000 VND but it didn’t work. I asked for permission to leave but this person aggressively held me back and shouted: ‘You have to buy it when you see it!'” Q. recalled.
Luckily, she was “rescued” in time by the group of friends accompanying her. but the following days have not stopped haunting my mind.
Q. He said that generations of students have passed down the experience that every time they come to Nha Xanh market, they must always keep one thing in mind: No bargaining!
“When first entering the market, all traders are very welcoming, especially to students. But if you accidentally ask the price and don’t buy, you will definitely be scolded and chased away,” Q. said.
According to the female student, he scolded her. has become a familiar “specialty” at Nha Xanh market for many years. Customers are even threatened to be forced to buy goods at all costs.
D.T.C. (22 years old, Ha Dong district) said he was familiar with the tricks of small traders at Nha Xanh market. One time C. and his friend went to a store to ask to buy a sweater. Because she did not agree with the listed price, she left but was held back by the shop owner and shouted: “Why don’t you buy? You have to give me a price and then leave!”.
C . We paid 50,000 VND for a thin sweater but later refused to buy it because the design was not suitable.
“At this time, the owner called a man to stop us and said she had paid 50,000 VND. Then give me the money. Afraid of being beaten, we agreed to buy it at that price. However, after giving the money, this person turned around and said it would cost 220,000 VND to pay the rest, then we would lose 50,000 VND. again.
In the end, the female student sadly spent 220,000 VND to buy a shirt, but most of all, in return for peace.
“Small traders always find ways to extort money from customers. Shop in the most violent and brutal way, especially with gentle students who don’t know how to resist. At first, the merchants were gentle, but as soon as the customers set foot in the shop, they seemed to fall into a pre-arranged trap.” C. said.
Climax on the afternoon of December 7, two girls came to ask to buy jackets at the kiosk of L.T.M. (22 years old from Hai Duong) in Nha Xanh market. There was a conflict in the price agreement process between the two sides. The clip spread on social networks shows that the store owner slapped one of the two girls, repeatedly cursed them and chased them away.
December 9, Cau Giay District Police Criminal Police Team Coordinate with Dich Vong Hau Ward Police to verify and clarify the case. Authorities went to the scene to invite L.T.M. Go to the Ward Police headquarters to work.

Earlier, when I was a student, I heard about the name. Ms. A. also came to buy goods at Nha Xanh market. The store owner shouted the price was too high, she said “too expensive and can’t afford it”. After 3 bids, still unable to finalize the price “agreeable to buy and sell”, she asked permission to leave and received an endless stream of curses and vulgar words.
