After nearly one month of launch, the contest attracted nearly 1.000 participants, including small traders, local residents, and visitors. The organizers assessed that the contest was not only an intellectual playground, but also an opportunity for the community to gain deeper understanding, strengthen attachment, and together spread pride in a market rich in traditional value.

At the closing ceremony, outstanding individuals were honored, with 1 first prize, 2 second prizes, 3 third prizes, and 4 consolation prizes awarded, recognizing participants’ efforts and earnest spirit of learning. Through this contest, the Dong Ba Market Management Board aims to continue spreading the historical and cultural values of the market, while building its image as a destination that is “civilized, friendly, safe, and rich in identity”, affirming Dong Ba Market’s status as a symbolic traditional market of Hue.
