Water Puppet Shows in Ho Chi Minh
Múa Rối Nước Rồng Vàng
Why locals love it
Traditional Vietnamese Water Puppet Shows remain one of the cultural draws for most travellers to Ho Chi Minh City. Originating in the sodden rice paddies of the Red River Delta in North Vietnam, the two most popular places to see a water puppet show in Ho Chi Minh are at The Golden Dragon Water Puppetry Theatre and at the Villa Song Saigon.
Why you should visit it
Depicting the culture, traditions and folklore of Vietnamese life, visitors are entertained by puppets acting on a ‘stage’ of water accompanied by live old-fashioned music played on authentic instruments.
Special tip
Shows are performed entirely in Vietnamese which is not a problem for the tourist as the puppet gestures are obvious enough to keep the audience.
