What To Expect

Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater
Pick you up from the hotel for your first stop and enjoy the busy street of Saigon in the late evening, getting yourself into the Saigon atmosphere.
Next, enjoy the unique art of the water puppet show, a traditional art form closely connected with the long-standing spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. It is performed in a pool of water with the water surface being the stage. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides background music accompaniment. Singers with origin in north Vietnam sing songs which tell the story being acted out by the puppets (which are carved out of wood). Although the authentic shows are exclusively in Vietnamese, the tales depict rural life in villages and are easy to understand. The shows typically last for one hour and offer a colorful way to enjoy an ancient tradition.
