This is the night out in Hanoi which will show you different sights of Hanoi: Enjoy a traditional theatrical performance
followed by traditional Vietnamese cuisine as noodles. The tradition of water puppet theatre stems from a time when
rice paddy fields were flooded and villagers would make entertainment by standing in the waist-deep water with the
puppets performing over the water. Shows at this modern theatre are performed in a pool of water as the stage for
the puppets. The puppets are controlled by no more than eight puppeteers hiding behind a bamboo screen. The
renowned Thang Long Water Puppet show is considered to be one of the cultural highlights of Northern Vietnam
dating back to a tradition that first started in the Red River Delta.
