Wir würden abends gut durch das Puppentheater im Wasser mit Musik und Gesang unterhalten. Es werden kleine Alltagsszenen vorgeführt. Die Show dauerte knapp eine Stunde. 10 Minuten vor Beginn haben wir unseren Gutschein direkt am Theater in Karten eingetauscht - schnell und problemlos.

A water puppet show is an attraction you can see at the water puppet theater in central Hanoi, near Hoan Kiem Lake. This attraction originally comes from Vietnamese villages where the theatre was played with puppets in the water. The tradition of water puppet show comes from rice fields being flooded and villagers making entertainment by standing in the deep water.with the dolls above the water. Back then, simple stages were built around flooded rice fields aimed at the puppeteers who entertain their audience. Duration +- 1 hour, animation with vocals and orchestra. Also colorful.

I got a ticket via viator, it was a voucher that was exchanged 15 minutes before the show for a seated ticket. I booked VIP (1-5th row) and received 4th row - D 13, right in the middle which was a really great spot. Show was great as well, especially if someone admires theatres and art. Recommend
