We will make our way to the theater to enjoy the Water Puppet Show. Puppets are made from light timbers, carved, polished and decorated with different colours to demonstrate the clear personalities of each character. Water puppetry is a unique Vietnamese art form performed in a large pool using the water as a stage. The artisans inside the cabin control puppets. They perform each pole, rope, puppets with the system of ropes arranged outside or under the water. The stage is decorated with flags, fans, parasols. It is considered as one of the most traditional and important parts of Vietnamese culture. You will also enjoy the Vietnamese orchestra, which provides the background music for the show.

Traveler Reviews

My brother has been living in Ho Chi Minh for 3 months and I booked this while visiting him. He had walked past the puppet show and dinner cruise daily and said he never imagined how much he was missing out on. Huong was our guide and he went out of his way to make sure we were completely satisfied. He picked us from our airnbn and communicated with us with ample time. I would recommend this to anyone visiting because it made everything seem effortless.
