Itinerary
Puppet Show
Spend a few hours exploring the exclusivity and uniqueness of a night tour in Ha Noi. This evening will reveal different facets of the city, offering unique activities that take place only at night. The tour will begin with a fascinating visit to the local market, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere and discover local products. Afterward, enjoy a captivating Water Puppet performance. Water Puppetry originated in Northern Vietnam, and Ha Noi is the best place to experience it.
The puppets are made from lightweight timber, carefully carved, polished, and decorated with vibrant colors to showcase the distinct personalities of each character. The show is performed in a pool, using the water surface as the stage, adorned with flags, fans, and parasol decorations. Artisans inside a cabin control the puppets, employing a system of ropes arranged outside or underwater. This performance provides a unique glimpse into rural Vietnamese life and folklore, making it an important part of Vietnamese culture.
West Lake
After the show, we will head to West Lake, where we will enjoy an amazing buffet dinner. Dining at a buffet in Ha Noi is an exquisite experience, and the location serves as a nostalgic reminder of the city’s past.
