Came here last night to watch this awesome show. This venue is located about 45mins from Hanoi CBD and sure is worth the trip. The event was spectacular, there was great lighting and the performers were amazing. Highly recommend everyone to check out this place.

A magical experience from beginning to the end. While English translation was only provided at the start of the performance and at the end, the dancing in itself you didn't need any translation as the stories was told clearly through the visuals and dancing.

The day I landed in Hanoi was the day I’m going to witness the show. it was very very very enticing, informative and it reminds me of similarities of culture in the Philippines. Booking here in klook is easy and the operator will send a message to you via WhatsApp.

Set outdoors against the backdrop of a mountain and a huge lake (yes, the stage is literally on water), this performance blends traditional Vietnamese culture, history, and religion into one seamless, jaw dropping spectacle.We’re talking water puppetry, folk singing, orchestras, stunning light work, and dancers moving in complete sync, almost like watching painting come to life

This is difenitely a MUST in your itinerary. We really enjoyed it. The light effects and the performance was amazing! We were in awe the whole time we were watching. They have a lot of performers. We arrived an Hour before the show starts so we waited at their Canteen, while waiting there were a lot of entertainment too. You can play games with the performers and dance with them. There are also some who sang, danced and Act. Tip: Arrive at the pick-up point 30mins before because the first bus gets full easily. Buy the GOLD ticket cause it got the best view. Be sure to line up first so you can choose your seat. Seat at the center and Top so you can appreciate the whole performance. We were lucky that there were a lot of vacant seats since it was off season so we got to transfer to nearest seats whenever we need to take photos. Overall, it was worth it!!!! We’re glad we included it in our tour. It’s best to book klook cause the venue is far from the city so you need a bus going back and forth.

first, it is best to book with service so it won’t be a hassle because its on the provincial side so its hard to book a ride going home. though going there is too early so if you want, don’t go on the service going there and just the ride the service going home. anyways, I really love the show, it was amazing and touching knowing that the performers were not professionals, they are workers also, some of them perform their real life work like farmer, fisher, etc. this is a must see when going to Hanoi, feels like a world class performance. I enjoyed every moment of it. you can see that they perform passionately. ps: don’t wear short dresses/skirt/short because its near the farms so theirs a lot of mosquitoes or just bring insect repellents.

Recommended by my Vietnamese friend to watch. Blew my mind how it was being done and it was so good that I don’t know which is the best words to describe. It brings out the culture of Vietnam and I am proud of the work they did. Those who want to travel there to watch, I recommend to get their 2 ways round trip bus as this area is out of the city area. My friend and I we made a mistake where we booked the ticket and go there by grab. We have a problem when going back because when we are looking for help seem like not many people able to speak English and we managed to booked grab where we select their local taxi service. Hope this is a small reminder tip. This show is a must to watch when you are in Hanoi. It is really good!!!!!!!

It's recommended to book a ticket with 2-way transport because the venue is far from the Hanoi city center. There was no restaurant nearby the venue. The show is open-door and it was slightly raining. The raincoat was provided. The show was 1 hour long.

Unique show, full of folk character. Pre-show games like jump rope, hopscotch, bamboo dance are very fun. The food is diverse but not very delicious. Klook service is very good!
