Excellent, a very local performance.

The performers stand behind a curtain, using bamboo poles and other tools to manipulate the puppets. Musicians and voice actors are on either side of the stage.

It&#39;s right by Hoan Kiem Lake. Just use navigation to get there. Buy tickets at the ticket window. Sitting in the front rows allows for a better view. Because I was sitting near the front, I could vaguely see the bamboo poles and wires used to control the puppets. The artists are amazing!

This is an amazing spot in Hanoi, very calming and relaxing. It is surrounded by skyscrapers and bustling streets, great for walking around and enjoying the fresh air. At night, it becomes alive with colorful lights and music. A must-see destination in the old quarter. Especially good for taking pictures.

Hanoi Train Street

This is a really nice spot! Not far from Hanoi Train Station, there are many restaurants and bars on both sides of this section of the railway. About ten trains pass by every day! First of all, I definitely recommend going at night for the best view; the neon lights along the entire street are stunning! Secondly, when you go there, you&#39;ll see tables and chairs placed on both sides of the railway. You have to buy a beer to sit and wait for the train to pass. However, when the train passes, only the tables and chairs on the shop side remain seated. Those on the other side must leave their seats and pack up their tables. So, remember to choose a seat on the bar side for the best view!

The experience here is a mix of discovery, and exploration, and a lot of distractions. These 36 streets are perhaps the most well-known part of Hanoi, and have tons of shops and street vendors, selling everything from street drinks and foods, souvenirs, clothing, accommodation, spa services like massages, manicures and pedicures, hair salons, cafes and many others. They are alive almost 24/7 and are at the heart of the city.

Live Show

My two 6-year-old children and I loved watching the performance. Especially knowing that it was performed on an open-water stage with a cast of nearly 200 actors, I knew I had to bring my children to experience it! The performance&#39;s music and atmosphere were moving, taking the audience back to the traditional past of Northern Vietnam and allowing them to feel the diligence, spirit, and faith of the Northern Vietnamese people.
Several times during the show, I got goosebumps (meaning it was very touching), and at the end, the actors even invited the audience to join in a bamboo dance game, which was very fun and lively.
You can buy food and drinks before the show, but we chose to take a Grab from Hanoi. Please be aware of Hanoi&#39;s rush hour traffic, as the estimated travel time is 50 minutes! It&#39;s recommended to leave early. Getting a Grab after the show is also very convenient.
Despite the long journey, I believe this is a must-see show in Northern Vietnam.
