    "The show itself wasn’t as bad but it wasn’t THAT good either. I mean the puppets performing on water was pretty cool but i didn’t understand the theater itself and i was so lost during the whole show 😭 So i recommend learning Vietnamese before watching the show."

    Highlights: Water puppet show is Vietnam's "national quintessence" and one of Vietnam's characteristic traditional folk stage shows. It has a history of more than 800 years. Although "water puppets" originated in North Vietnam, they have been slowly relocated to Ho Chi Minh City over the past decade due to their popularity with foreign tourists. The performance method is to set up a stage on the pool, and the actors who are immersed in the water in the background manipulate the puppets with long lines or bamboo poles, and sing, read and play with the accompaniment on the spot, so that the puppets can vividly interpret various Vietnamese folklore stories. There are many performance venues for water puppet shows, especially the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater, which lasts about 45 minutes.△ The show performed on the water△ Use live Vietnamese traditional instruments△ The show is mainly about Vietnamese folktales and legends
