About Thang Long Water Puppet Show in Hanoi
You do not want to miss out on the buffalo-riding boys, fire-breathing dragons, and sacred creatures that come alive behind the curtain. Combined with live traditional music, each 50–60 minute performance unfolds a series of skits depicting Vietnamese rural life, folklore, and mythology.
