Overview

At the Labor Culture House, we will watch Water Puppet Show. It originated in the delta of the Red river in the tenth century. The farmers used natural mediums found in their environment to devise a unique form of entertainment. In the past, the stages for Water puppet shows were ponds and paddy-field after harvesting. We head to Sai Gon River by car and get on the cruise where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the city with twinkling lights. Or, admire the traditional junk boat for 2 hours cruise along Sai Gon River. Then you have dinner with local or western cuisine. The wonderful evening will be completed with a delicious dessert before you get back to your dock. The cruise finishes at 9: 30 PM.

Published on Nov, 2023

We had a great night. Special mention to our taxi driver he was great picked us up on time had to deal with the traffic which was horrendous organised our tickets for the puppet show then was there to take us to the river cruise and then drop us back to the hotel. The puppet show was first class and the river cruise and food and service on the cruise was great too so over all was a fantastic experience would highly recommend it.
