About this package
Itinerary: 18:15: Head to Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater (55B Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City). 18:30: Enjoy a traditional water puppet show, an art form deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture. Watch puppets come to life in a pool of water, controlled by puppeteers using bamboo rods and strings, accompanied by a live Vietnamese orchestra. Stories depict rural village life and are easy to follow, even if the shows are in Vietnamese. The performance lasts about an hour. Important Notice: We would like to inform you that due to the strong friendship between Vietnam and Laos, the Government of Vietnam will hold a national mourning ceremony for the late Prime Minister of Laos on April 4th and 5th, 2025. As a result, the Water Puppet Show will be temporarily suspended during these two days.
