This amazing form of puppetry based on a liquid stage is more than 1,000 years old. The puppets, typically designed to look like the characters in Vietnamese fables, are controlled by 11 puppeteers, who launch fire-breathing dragons, acrobatic rice farmers and dancing maidens across the watery stage. The band is also important and impressive, providing the music that keeps the legends alive, giving tourists a taste of the beauty of Vietnamese sounds. Performances are held regularly.

Vietnamese water puppet show
Vietnamese water puppetry is a unique folk art that originated a thousand years ago during the Ly dynasty. Villagers in the Red River delta and other rice-growing regions in Northern Vietnam staged water puppet performances to celebrate the end of the rice harvest, religious festivals, and other important occasions.
