What you can expect

  • Benefit from pick-up at your hotel is located in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, and then make your way to the Water Puppet Theatre.

    Immerse yourself in a traditional art form closely connected with the spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. Be amazed by the skilful puppeteers who stand behind a screen and control puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanisms hidden beneath the surface of the pool of water. Be mesmerised as the pool becomes the stage!

    Hear traditional music from North Vietnam played by the orchestra and listen to songs that tell the storey being performed. Although the shows are exclusively in Vietnamese, the tales depict rural life in villages and are easy to understand. Then, experience the buzzing nightlife on a dinner cruise aboard a traditional-style boat.
