The Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater

Dive into Vietnamese culture with the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater, a perfect experience for families and culture enthusiasts in Ho Chi Minh City.

Watch vibrant puppets glide across the water, telling ancient Vietnamese stories through delicate movements, colorful costumes, and live traditional music.

A live orchestra plays a central role, weaving traditional melodies into the performance, adding depth and emotion to each puppet's journey across the stage.

Choose from upgrades that include hotel transfers, a cyclo ride, an evening guided tour of the city, and a scenic Saigon River dinner cruise.

Fun fact: Water puppetry, which dates back over 1,000 years, was originally performed in flooded rice paddies to entertain farmers after a hard day’s work.

See Ho Chi Minh City from 178 metres above, then dive into a centuries-old water puppet show for a lively evening that captures both the city’s scale and its soul.
