Just spending a few hours exploring the exclusiveness and differences of Ha Noi city tour by night. This night in Ha Noi will show you the different facets of the city. This night tour is to offer you the unique activities which only take place at night. The evening will begin with an interesting trip to see the local market before enjoying the Water Puppet performance. Water Puppetry originated in Northern Vietnam and Ha Noi is the best place to see it. Puppets are made from light timbers, are carved, polished and decorated with different colours to demonstrate the clear personalities of each character. The show is performed in a pool using the water surface as the stage. The stage is decorated with flags, fans, parasols. The artisans inside the cabin control puppets. They perform puppets with the system of ropes arranged outside or under water. It’s a unique look into rural Vietnamese life and folklore and an important part of the Vietnamese culture.
