Water puppetry in the form of using puppets to perform and perform dramas on the water surface is considered a unique intangible cultural feature of the Vietnamese nation. Water shows are narrations of the cultural life of the ancient Vietnamese people such as dragon dances, palanquin processions, buffalo fighting, wrestling, or excerpts from fairy tales of Thach Sanh and Tam Cam,..
Watching water puppetry, visitors not only get closer to the lives of Vietnamese people but also have the opportunity to admire the ingenious puppet control skills of the artists who are soaking in the water. The combination of traditional musical instruments and exquisite techniques in each movement of the puppet on the water has created a vivid picture of Vietnamese culture that is extremely impressive.
