View map
We will meet you at your hotel and then take a short drive to visit the house of the most famous and experienced water puppet artisan, who devoted more than 20 years of his life to water puppet. He changed 10 square meters on his 4th floor into a “mini-home theatre” where he can introduce you the unique traditional art form of Vietnamese water puppetry.
 
After a short tea break with the host, we’ll have opportunity to watch his own water puppet plays telling both ancient and modern stories of traditions and normal daily life. Furthermore, we can know how the water puppet show performed in a “mini-home theatre” different from that performed in traditional stage.
 
When the show ends, it’s your turn to tuck up your sleeves, touch the puppets and try to control them. The behind-the-scene experience will be a unique and unforgettable memory in your life.
 
We have 1 hour and a half to enjoy the water puppet show before transferring back to the hotel. Tour ends here.
