About this activity
Itinerary
Just spending 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.
After the show, we will head to West Lake where we will enjoy an amazing buffet dinner. Buffet in Ha Noi is an exquisite experience for customers and the location is a nostalgic reminder of Ha Noi’s past.
Duration: 3 minutes
Location: Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, 57B Đinh Tiên Hoàng, Hàng Bạc, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội 100000, Vietnam

The show is ok if you have not seen a water puppet show. Can do without the dinner though. Have to travel about half an hour to a restaurant in the outskirts. Place is big with many buffet stations but so are the number of people rushing for the food.Standard of food - average.
Show was not bad, but not as big a production as I was expecting thought there would be more puppets. The guide was friendly. Buffet dinner was better than I expected and one of the best meals I had in Hanoi, with a huge variety of food available. Overall a good night out.
the puppet show was well done, the puppeteers expert, the length perfect for a western audienc e
Really enjoyed it. The tour guide was very helpful and the buffet dinner was fantastic famous vitamise street food, sea food, Japanese cousin. It is one of the best memory of Hanoi
A great evening out in Hanoi. The traditional water puppet show was entertaining and the international buffet dinner was sensational and quite unexpected. The guide was very happy to show us around parts of Hanoi that we may not of seen and took his lead from us.
