The Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theatre in Ho Chi Minh City is a cultural gem that brings Vietnam’s traditional art of water puppetry to life. Located in Tao Dan Park, this small but vibrant theater offers a unique and enchanting experience, showcasing a centuries-old art form that originated in the rice fields of northern Vietnam. The performances are set on a water stage, with skilled puppeteers manoeuvring intricately carved wooden puppets. Accompanied by live traditional music and singing, the shows depict scenes from Vietnamese folklore, rural life, and historical legends. Stories of mythical dragons, dancing fairies, and heroic farmers unfold in a mesmerizing blend of color, movement, and sound. The performance lasts about an hour.
