At first, locals call Da Lat market Cho Cay because the raw materials to build this market are made of wood and wood panels crimp. In 1958, one of the market items was built on a swampy area under the direction of architect Nguyen Duy Duc. The walking bridge connects directly to Da Lat Market.
After that, the famous architect Ngo Viet Thu from France returned to renovate the central market of Dalat. Most of the houses in this market have remained so shaped as the design by architect Nguyen Viet Thu, including the pedestrian bridge and flower carpet in front of the building.
