Great authentic Vietnamese puppetry and musicianship. I would ban phone and camera photography since it is too distracting.

Full description

Experience one of Vietnam's most memorable and traditional art forms during a live 50-minute performance.
The art of water puppetry has a distinct Vietnamese identity. It came into existence more than a thousand years ago in the Red River Delta.
In its earliest days, water puppetry portrayed the daily life of villagers – in farming and fishing activities, children’s play and in romance. Today the performance also brings in ancient legends and myths.

Was a nice experience, show isn’t really long nor boring, though where you’re seated kind of makes a bit of a difference.
