Traditional water puppetry originating from the rice paddies of the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam remains one of the most popular tourist attractions in Ho Chi Minh City. If you want to truly immerse yourself in the local culture of Vietnam’s largest city, catch a show at the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theatre! The theatre is located in Tao Dan Park and performs nightly. The shows are performed entirely in Vietnamese, but the puppetry and accompanying music appeal to foreign audiences as well. An orchestra, usually located to one side of the stage, uses drums, wooden bells, trumpets, bamboo flutes and cymbals to add sound effects and play traditional music, while dragons, fairies and other decorative figures dance on water platforms. Most shows feature humorous depictions of Vietnamese folk tales, legends and important seasonal events, such as the rice harvest.

Saigon Central Post Office

Historic buildings

Located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon Central Post Office is one of Southeast Asia&#39;s oldest functioning post offices and a rare example of colonial-era architecture still in operation. More than a historic landmark, it preserves Vietnam&#39;s postal and communication heritage.

Tickets were exchanged on site, very fast. There were singing and puppet dancing, very lively. It seemed to be near the Reunification Palace. The location was easy to find and we walked there. The theater was not big, and the view from the front and back was very clear. The children had a lot of fun watching it for about an hour.

The experience isn&rsquo;t expensive and you get your moneys worth. I enjoyed the show it was as the box explained a famous old puppet show an I would advise everyone to experience it at its cheap price and to see a bit of local culture. If taking kids it is 1hr long so if you don&rsquo;t plan to stay the whole time then please don&rsquo;t sit in the front rows.
