Only the tailoring kiosk at the end of the market closes later. It is known that due to frequent flooding when it rains, Vinh city previously issued a document assigning planning targets for a new market, but because Hung Hoa is a poor and purely agricultural commune, with limited financial resources, it has not been implemented yet.
